4-Methylmorpholine is used as a solvent for dyes, resins, waxes and pharmaceuticals. It acts as a crosslinker in the preparation of polyurethane foams, elastomers and adhesives. It is used as a precursor to prepare N-methylmorpholine N-oxide and morpholinium cation based ionic liquids. It is utilized as corrosion inhibitors and anti-scaling agents in industries.
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.
