Applications & Uses
2-Mercapto-3-butanol is used in the preparation of low-energy UV curing polyurethane acrylate prepolymer with fast UV curing speed, good toughness, and stable storage properties for UV curing coatings.
Primary Industry Applications
- Flavorings: Used as a flavor ingredient to impart savory, meaty, roasted, onion, or garlic notes to food products. It is extremely potent, so it is used in very low concentrations (parts per million or even parts per billion).
- Fragrances: Used in minute quantities to add complexity and "natural" sulfuraceous nuances to certain fragrance compositions.
