Chemicals Industry Information

The reactivity of sulfur-containing organic chemicals makes them interesting materials for a wide variety of applications. Thiols, for example, can be used to reduce disulfides in organic materials like hair or to reduce metal oxides in drilling applications or cleaners. In the rubber industry, sulfur is known as a vulcanizing agent or plasticizer, while thioethers can be oxidized to protect polymers from oxidative degradation. In addition, several active pharmaceutical ingredients contain sulfur moieties such as thiophene units that can be synthesized starting from Evabochem® products. Thiophenes are also a key element in the synthesis of electronical conductive polymers such as PEDOT. The Evabochem® portfolio provides a large selection of different sulfur organic products for a wide variety of applications.
