Description

2-Hydroxyethyl Bis(Hydroxymethyl)Carbamate is a versatile, multi-functional organic compound characterized by its reactive hydroxyl and carbamate groups. This structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing polymers, coatings, and specialty chemicals where cross-linking, adhesion, and durability are required. It is particularly sought after by formulators and manufacturers in the polymer, resin, and adhesives industries for developing high-performance materials.

Application

• Polymer & Resin Modification: Acts as a reactive diluent and cross-linking agent in the production of polyurethanes, epoxy resins, and acrylic polymers, enhancing flexibility and chemical resistance.
• Wood & Textile Treatment: Used in formulations for durable, formaldehyde-free wood binders and as a finishing agent for textiles to impart wrinkle resistance and durability.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of moisture-curing adhesives and sealants, improving bond strength and weatherability.
• Coating Systems: Incorporated into high-performance industrial and automotive coatings to improve film formation, adhesion to substrates, and overall coating longevity.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Intermediates: Utilized in the synthesis of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and personal care product components due to its bifunctional reactivity.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a versatile building block for organic synthesis, particularly in creating compounds with carbamate and polyol functionalities.

Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxyethyl Bis(Hydroxymethyl)Carbamate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request, providing full traceability and compliance assurance for your quality protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and performance.
