Key Applications
Natural gas and LPG odorant – Primary industrial use as a warning agent due to its extremely low odor threshold and distinctive skunk-like smell, enabling leak detection in otherwise odorless fuel gases.
Chemical intermediate in organic synthesis – Serves as a nucleophilic thiol source for the preparation of thioethers, disulfides and other sulfur-containing compounds used in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
Chain transfer agent in radical polymerization – Employed to control molecular weight and chain length during the production of specialty polymers and resins.
Flavor and fragrance intermediate – Approved as a flavoring agent (FEMA 3897) at very low concentrations for savory, onion- and meat-like notes in food applications.
Petroleum analysis standard and rubber additive – Used as a reference standard in hydrocarbon analysis and as a functional additive in certain rubber and polymer formulations.
