Case 1: Polymer Production
A polymer manufacturing company was facing issues with the mechanical properties of their polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products. The PVC was too brittle, which limited its application in some fields. After adding 2 - Ethylhexyl 3 - Mercaptopropionate as a chain - transfer agent, the molecular weight of the PVC was effectively controlled. The resulting PVC products had improved flexibility and toughness, allowing them to be used in applications such as flexible pipes and cable insulation.
Case 2: Adhesive Manufacturing
An adhesive manufacturer was looking to improve the adhesion strength and chemical resistance of their epoxy - based adhesives. By incorporating 2 - Ethylhexyl 3 - Mercaptopropionate into the adhesive formulation, the cross - linking density of the adhesive increased. The new adhesive had significantly better adhesion to various substrates, including metals and plastics. It also showed improved resistance to chemicals such as acids and alkalis, expanding its application in harsh environments.
