2-Imidazolidone /Ethyleneurea CAS 120-93-4

Ethyleneurea is a white crystalline solid with a melting point of 129–132 °C, known for its high solubility in water and polar solvents like hot ethanol. It functions primarily as a highly effective formaldehyde scavenger and serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis due to its stable cyclic urea structure.

2-Imidazolidone /Ethyleneurea  Specification:

Ethyleneurea (2-Imidazolidinone, CAS 120-93-4) is a versatile chemical intermediate primarily used as an efficient formaldehyde scavenger across multiple industries and as a building block in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis

2-Imidazolidone /Ethyleneurea Application Usage:

1. Primary Function: Formaldehyde Scavenger: The most dominant application across textiles, leather, wood, and paints is its ability to chemically bind free formaldehyde, reducing emissions from resin-treated products . A study on resin-finished fabrics found that a 5% concentration of ethyleneurea reduced formaldehyde release to less than 50 ppm .

2. Critical Pharma Intermediate: It serves as a building block for semi-synthetic penicillins (Mezlocillin, Azlocillin), highlighting its importance in active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing .

3. Multifunctional Additive: In applications like inkjet inks and coatings, it offers additional benefits beyond formaldehyde scavenging, such as improving dispersion, stability, and finish quality

2-Imidazolidone /Ethyleneurea Package and Shipping:

It is usually packed in 25kg/bag, or 25Kg/fiber drum if request.

2-Imidazolidone /Ethyleneurea  Storage:

2-Imidazolidone need stored in cool, dry, stored and transported separately from food raw materials
