Hydrazine Hydrate

Product Specifications

Properties

• Strong Reducibility: Acts as a powerful reducing agent in both acidic and alkaline media, its primary chemical characteristic.

• Alkalinity: Aqueous solution is weakly alkaline and reacts with acids to form salts.

• Instability: Thermally unstable; can decompose violently when heated, in contact with metal catalysts (e.g., iron, copper), or certain impurities.

• Toxicity: Highly toxic; can be absorbed through skin, inhalation, and ingestion. Damages liver, nervous system, etc. Suspected carcinogen.

• Corrosivity: Corrosive to glass, rubber, and certain plastics.

Main Uses

1.Blowing Agent: 

•  A key raw material for producing high-efficiency blowing agents like Azodicarbonamide (ADC), used in plastics and rubber products.

2.Boiler Water Treatment: 

•  Used as an efficient oxygen scavenger and passivator in power plants and industrial boiler systems to prevent metal corrosion.

3.Agrochemical & Pharmaceutical Intermediates: 

•  Used to synthesize various insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and pharmaceuticals (e.g., antibiotics, anti-tuberculosis drugs).

4.Chemical Production: 

•  Used to produce fine chemicals like antioxidants, polymerization inhibitors, and water treatment agents (e.g., sodium mercaptobenzothiazole).

5.Polymer Industry: 

•  Used as a cross-linking agent and chain extender in the production of polyurethane, epoxy resins, and polyamides.

6.Aerospace: 

•  Anhydrous hydrazine or its derivatives are used as propellants in rockets and missiles.

7.Metal Treatment: 

•  Used in metal surface treatment and electroplating.
