Ethyl Tosylamide

Ethyl Tosylamide (CAS 80-39-7), also known by the abbreviation ETSM, is a sulfonamide-based plasticizer and solvent used across polymer processing and industrial formulation. It functions primarily as a plasticizer and carrier.

This chemical improves flexibility and processability in resin systems where conventional phthalate or adipate plasticizers are unsuitable. In plastics and polymer compounding, ETSM is used to plasticize polyamide resins and epoxy systems.

The material is highly effective at improving flow and reducing brittleness in finished parts. The textile and leather industries use it as a softening agent and carrier solvent in finishing formulations for various substrates.

In these applications, it aids the penetration of active components into fiber or hide substrates. In metalworking and lubricant formulations, it functions as a functional solvent that improves additive compatibility.

The product also enhances film-forming properties in industrial coatings. Paper treatment applications employ ETSM to modify surface flexibility and coating adhesion, ensuring high-quality results in specialized manufacturing processes.

Ethyl Tosylamide is supplied as a pale to off-white solid, typically in flake or powder form. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with purity specifications commonly at 99% or above.

Packaging is available in bags or drums suited to industrial procurement volumes. This ensures safe handling and efficient logistics for large-scale manufacturing operations requiring consistent chemical supply.
