Glycol dimercaptoacetate CAS#123-81-9

Glycol dimercaptoacetate, also known as GDMA, is a clear liquid with a specific sulfuric odor. It is poorly soluble in water but miscible with alcohol. This compound is used as a crosslinking agent in rubbers and as an accelerator in curing epoxy resins. It is also of interest in academic research and may be formed in cosmetic preparations when thioglycolic acid and ethylene glycol are used together. It is important to handle with care due to its potential skin sensitization and irritation properties .
