High-purity ethanethiol supplier
I. Product Introduction
Ethyl mercaptoethanol (also known as mercaptoethane, CAS: 75-08-1), molecular formula C₂H₅SH, is a colorless, transparent, and volatile liquid at room temperature. It has a highly identifiable garlic-like odor, with an odor perception threshold as low as 0.1 ppm, meaning trace amounts are detectable by the human body. It is a mainstream odorant in the global gas industry and a core organic sulfur intermediate in the synthesis of fine chemicals, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals.
Our company mainly deals in 99.0% industrial high-purity grade, 99.5% refined grade, and 99.9% reagent grade ethyl mercaptoethanol. We strictly control impurity content, ensuring batch-to-batch stability and strong antioxidant properties. It is suitable for use in various scenarios including domestic municipal gas, foreign trade export, chemical synthesis, and scientific research experiments. We are a long-term designated supplier for many domestic gas groups, pesticide and pharmaceutical companies, and oil refining enterprises. Core Physicochemical Parameters

II. Mainstream Applications of High-Purity Ethylene Mercaptan
- Gas Safety Odor Addition (Core Application) Natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and coalbed methane are colorless and odorless, and leaks can easily lead to explosions and poisoning accidents. High-purity ethyl mercaptan, with its extremely low odor threshold, can achieve long-term leak warning with only a small amount added. Compared with tetrahydrothiophene, it requires less dosage, has higher warning sensitivity, and lower overall cost, and is widely used in urban pipeline networks, LNG terminals, liquefied gas filling stations, and oilfield gas production odorization operations.
III.Advantages:
1. Stable chemical properties; does not easily decompose under high and low temperature conditions; does not corrode pipes or cause blockages on pipe walls during long-term use; fully complies with domestic gas safety regulations and international odorization standards. 2. Pesticide chemical intermediates: As a core raw material for organophosphorus insecticides and herbicides, used in the synthesis of mainstream agricultural inputs such as phorate, ethion, clethodim, and demeton-methyl; can improve the leaf penetration efficiency of fungicides; is an irreplaceable basic raw material for the production of agricultural chemicals. 3. Pharmaceuticals and fine organic synthesis: Used in the synthesis of anti-tumor, anti-gout, and sulfur-containing antibiotic drugs; serves as a reaction reducing agent and structural modification reagent in laboratory research, mercaptan click chemistry, and the development of organosulfur new materials; high purity ensures repeatable experimental data and stable finished product qualification rate. 4. Petroleum refining and industrial additives: Crude oil desulfurization and purification, heavy metal complexation and precipitation, rubber polymer modification, ore flotation warning gas, fuel antioxidant additives, etc.; suitable for the procurement needs of oil refineries, new material processing plants, and mining enterprises. III. Our Core Advantages as a Professional Supplier
- Strict Quality Control and Complete Product Range
Multiple grades are readily available: Industrial 99%, Refined 99.5%, Ultra-high Purity 99.9%, with customized purification grades available upon request; GC testing throughout the entire process, with each batch accompanied by a quality inspection report, strictly controlling harmful impurities such as sulfides, hydrogen sulfide, and moisture, eliminating inferior raw materials; Direct sourcing of raw materials from large-scale refining plants, eliminating intermediaries, ensuring product oxidation resistance, durability during storage and transportation, and minimal deterioration or ineffectiveness over long-term storage.
- Complete Compliance and Standardized Hazardous Chemical Operations
Holding a formal hazardous chemicals operation license and hazardous chemicals import/export registration, we can provide normal customs clearance and export services to domestic enterprises, Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian, and South Asian foreign trade clients; Complete documentation: MSDS, COA, commodity inspection documents, hazardous chemical classification identification, and customs declaration documents are provided in one stop, ensuring efficient and smooth customs clearance for foreign trade orders. 3. Stable Inventory + Flexible Delivery: We maintain a constant stock of tens of thousands of tons of goods year-round. Small-batch samples (1kg/5kg), industrial drums (160kg/drum), and large-volume tank truck orders can all be processed quickly, with express delivery within 3 days. We have our own professional hazardous chemical logistics fleet, providing point-to-point delivery nationwide. For international trade, we can handle FOB Qingdao and FOB Shanghai ports, utilizing sea-land combined transport with fully sealed nitrogen-protected packaging to prevent leakage and oxidation during transportation.
- Technical Support and Long-Term After-Sales Service: Our professional chemical technical team provides free gas odorization ratio solutions, raw material safety guidance, and storage protection plans. One-on-one dedicated account managers track orders throughout the process, ensuring rapid after-sales response. Long-term, large-volume partnerships can be secured through price-locking agreements to mitigate raw material market fluctuations. Free sample trials are provided; bulk orders are accepted only after successful sample testing, reducing customer procurement risks.
