Abstract: A method for producing mercaptan terminated liquid polymers with increased chemical reactivity and reduced odor is disclosed which involves heating the polymeric liquid material under conditions which avoid oxidation and depolymerization of the material while removing at least 50 weight percent of low molecular weight mercaptan compounds to produce a stripped polymer material having an increased cure rate and reduced obnoxious mercaptan odor.
