Normal Dodecyl Mercaptan is a straight-chain thiol compound with the molecular formula C₁₂H₂₅SH, characterized by a thiol group (-SH) and a 12-carbon alkyl chain. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, pungent odor, insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, and has a boiling point of approximately 270-280°C. Normal Dodecyl Mercaptan is commonly used in organic synthesis to introduce thiol groups and is widely applied in nanotechnology to modify metal surfaces by forming self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). It is also utilized as an additive in coatings and lubricants to enhance material properties.

The global Normal Dodecyl Mercaptan market was valued at US$ 54.79 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 76.78 million by 2031, with a CAGR of 4.51% during the forecast period 2025-2031. Rising Demand in Polymer and rubber application are the key drivers of the market.
