2-Mercaptoethanol (BME)


Consumer & Industrial Applications

Ink & Dye Additives: We offer hydrocarbon compounds that serve as ink carriers as well as sulfur chemicals that are effective solvents in digital image processing.


Food & Nutrition Applications

To help the agricultural industry flourish in its efforts to maintain fertile land, grow crops and raise healthy livestock, Chevron Phillips Chemical produces agrochemical intermediates such as 2-mercaptoethanol.


Petroleum & Refinery

2ME or BME is a highly volatile, yet water soluble material that is widely used in cleaning agents, as a corrosion inhibitor for performance material (pipe) and as a tin stabilizer in PVC production.


Polymers and Rubber Applications

Normal mercaptans are used as reactants in the synthesis of antioxidants, which minimize undesirable effects from processes such as the stabilization of tin.

2-mercaptoethanol is also used as a chain transfer agent in processes where control of molecular weight is critical.
