TIB Chemicals AG 2,2'-Ethyl endithio diethanol

The use of 2,2'-ethylenedithiodiethanol takes place particularly in special niche areas in which TIB® Chrome 22 is suitable and proven. TIB® Chrome 22 is, as far as it is used for cosmetics, subject to Decision 96/335 / EC as an indication of ingredients of cosmetic products. After the appropriate classification of the INCI function, the agent is used as a skin care product. The substance does not trigger any known allergic reactions.

    Applications & Uses

    Possible fields of application of 2,2'-ethylenedithiodiethanol C6H14O2S2

    One of the most important applications of TIB® Chrome 22 is color development. Especially in the course of the manufacture of certain cosmetics. Color developers are usually used to create a color from certain basic materials. The skin-protecting property of 2,2'-ethylenedithiodiethanol considerably supports the usability and makes it possible to combine a skin-care-promoting substance which simultaneously produces a color developer. Often, therefore, the substance is used directly in main care products. Especially means of care and preventive care can be taken advantage of.

    The use of 2,2'-ethylenedithiodiethanol is also important in the context of the function of a catalyst poison in vitamin production. Catalysts have the purpose of accelerating a chemical reaction. When TIB® Chrome 22 is used as a catalyst poison, it is important to slow down or at least slow down this acceleration of the reaction. In this case, the catalyst poison is often bound instead of the other chemical substance and thus obtains its required properties. A small degree of contamination is particularly important in vitamin production and is practically guaranteed by the addition of TIB® Chrome 22 as a catalyst poison.

    TIB Chemicals AG 2,2'-Ethyl endithio diethanol - Possible Fields of Application of 2,2'-Ethylenedithiodiethanol C6H14O2S2Complexing as a region of complex chemistry also benefits from 2,2'-ethylenedithiodiethanol in the processing of silver. A conventional compound is converted into a complex compound. In a complex compound, there is a central particle surrounded by ligands. In the production and recycling of silver, TIB® Chrome 22 takes on important functions in the complexing process, in which the silver can only be converted at all.

    Silver baths without corresponding ingredients are produced on acid basis and offer a lower stability of the final product. The addition of a complexing agent attempts to circumvent this problem. As a result, the silver ions can be combined with the sulfonic or mercaptocarboxylic acid to form a complex solution and bring about the desired stability. Only very small quantities of the TIB® Chrome 22 are required.
    The industry benefits from corresponding complex connections in several places. Thus, the production of pastes and coatings, which are used as lubrication, is possible. The composition of several alloying agents permits permanent and stable friction in the case of special demands on slide bearings and other friction objects. Objects alloyed with silver subsequently acquire the necessary stability of a complex compound, since 2,2'-ethylenedithiodiethanol is added as a complexing agent.
    The recycling of the finite and often expensive silver also benefits enormously from the addition of TIB® Chrome 22 compared to one of the most common methods of separating silver from other substances, the electrolysis.
