Multifunctional thiol compounds are used in a various application due to their unique properties. But on the other hand, it is sometimes difficult to control their high reactivity, and which makes their applications limited. Multifunctional secondary thiol compounds introduced in this paper have been reported to be able to increase the pot life of compositions because their reactivity is controlled by the steric hindrance of the methyl groups next to the mercapto groups, and to give cured products with excellent water resistance due to their low water absorption rate. Details of these compounds are reported here.
