Carbohydrazide is widely utilized as a curing agent for epoxide-type resins and as an oxygen scrubber in boiler systems. It is applied in photography to stabilize color developers that produce images of the azo-methine and azine classes. It is used to develop ammunition propellants and stabilize soaps. It is also a useful reagent in organic synthesis.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
