Description

2-Hydroxyethyl 2-Hydroxyethyl-Carbamate is a versatile bifunctional organic compound containing both hydroxyl and carbamate groups. This unique structure makes it a valuable reactive intermediate and building block for synthesizing more complex polymers and specialty chemicals. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and pharmaceutical industries for its ability to impart flexibility, adhesion, and specific functional properties to final products.

Application

• Polyurethane Synthesis: Acts as a chain extender or crosslinker to modify the mechanical properties, such as elasticity and toughness, in polyurethane elastomers, coatings, and foams.
• Coating Resins: Used in the formulation of high-performance industrial and automotive coatings to enhance durability, gloss, and chemical resistance.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Serves as a key component to improve adhesion strength, cohesion, and flexibility in structural and assembly adhesives.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Employed in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, leveraging its reactive hydroxyl and carbamate functionalities.
• Personal Care Products: Utilized as a film-forming agent or conditioning ingredient in hair care and skincare formulations.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Functions as a finishing agent to impart wrinkle resistance, softness, or water repellency to fabrics.

Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxyethyl 2-Hydroxyethyl-Carbamate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and composition. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to degradation or clumping.
