o-Dianisidine is used as a redox indicator. It is used as an intermediate for the preparation of azo dyes, pigments and o-dianisidine diisocyanate, which finds application in adhesives, polyurethane elastomers and resins. It is also used in various industries like leather, paper, plastics, rubber, and textiles. It acts as a reagent to detect metals, thiocyanates, and nitrites.
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.
