2-mercaptoethanol (BME)
We offer hydrocarbon compounds that serve as ink carriers as well as sulfur chemicals that are effective solvents in digital image processing. 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. 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.
