2-Imidazolidone, also called Ethyleneurea, CAS 120-93-4 is intermediates of fine chemicals. It is a formaldehyde trapping agent. Jinan Huashihang Chemical Co.,Ltd supplys pharma grade and industry grade 2-Imidazolidone.
Below are 2-Imidazolidone main uses.
textiles
Cotton products are composed of long chain cellulose. It has much hydrogen bonding space. Destroyed by heat or external forces, they are randomly reassembled. This forms fabric wrinkles. When 2-Imidazolidone and formaldehyde or glyoxal 40% are together to treat fabrics, they can react with exposed hydroxyl groups. It has anti wrinkle in textiles.
Ethyleneurea can also control formaldehyde pungent odor, and suppress formaldehyde release.
daily chemicals
Ethyleneurea is the main component of house formaldehyde scavengers. It is the main component of household formaldehyde scavengers. The final products are as high-performance formaldehyde remover, adhesive formaldehyde remover, floor odor removal care wax, furniture odor removal agent, and car odor removal agent.
Pharmaceuticals
2-Imidazolidone is the third generation penicillin material. It is also Mezlocillin, Azlocillin intermediate.
Paint
Ethyleneurea is an important additive in inkjet printing ink. It takes effect on dispersed pigments, lubrication pipelines. It prevents the ink jet head from drying in the air, prevent nozzle blockage, and improve ink storage stability. It can also improve color contrast and achieve high-quality printing effects.
Adhesive
It needs use much adhesives in wood based panels such as plywood, particle board, fiberboard and composite wood based panels. Most adhesives are urea formaldehyde resin, phenolic resin or melamine resin. 2-Imidazolidone is put in such adhesives to reduce formaldehyde release. People can use Glyoxal 40% and 2-Imidazolidone together in resins.
