global tertiary dodecyl mercaptan (TDM) market size was USD 332.2 million in 2021 and market is projected to touch USD 647.41 million by 2031 at CAGR 6.9% during the forecast period.
Tertiary dodecyl mercaptan (TDM) is a chemical compound that belongs to the family of mercaptans, which are sulfur-containing organic compounds. It has the chemical formula C12H25SH and a molecular weight of 213.4 g/mol.
TDM is a clear, colorless to light yellow liquid with a pungent odor. It is soluble in most organic solvents and is commonly used as a chain transfer agent in the production of polymers, such as polyethylene, polystyrene, and polypropylene. TDM can also be used as a surfactant, an antioxidant, and a lubricant additive.
TDM is considered to be a hazardous material due to its flammability and toxicity. It can cause skin and eye irritation upon contact, and inhalation of its vapors can cause respiratory irritation and nausea. Therefore, it should be handled with care and proper protective equipment should be used.
COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic decreased the Market Demand
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global economy, including the chemical industry and the market for Tertiary dodecyl mercaptan (TDM). The pandemic has disrupted supply chains, caused demand fluctuations, and led to changes in consumer behavior, all of which have affected the TDM market During the pandemic, the demand for TDM has been affected by the slowdown in the manufacturing sector and reduced consumer spending. This has led to a decrease in the demand for polymers, which are the primary application of TDM. As a result, the TDM market has experienced a decline in demand, and prices have been affected. The pandemic has also led to disruptions in the supply chain of TDM, resulting in delays and shortages.
