Hydrazine hydrate
What is Hydrazine hydrate?
Hydrazine hydrate (CAS 10217-52-4), also known as hydrazine monohydrate, is a concentrated aqueous form of hydrazine; a reducing agent and chemical intermediate.
Where is Hydrazine hydrate used?
- Boiler and steam systems: removes dissolved oxygen from feedwater to prevent corrosion
- Power generation and industrial utilities: protects high-pressure equipment
- Pharmaceuticals: intermediate in synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients, including antituberculosis compounds
- Agrochemicals: precursor in the synthesis of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators
- Water treatment: biocide and reducing agent
- In closed-loop cooling systems it is particularly effective where oxygen control is critical.
Good to know: Pharmaceutical-grade material is supplied with documentation and meets pharmacopoeial standards such as USP, Ph. Eur., BP, and EP.
Commercial specifications
