Specification SheetDimethyl methylphosphonate is used as a catalyst and a reagent in organic synthesis for the conversion of esters to ketophosphonates. It is an additive for the synthesis of unsaturated polyester resin which has flame retardant high phosphorous and UV-cured epoxy acrylate. It finds application as hydraulic fluids as well.
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.
