Product Application of 1-Methylimidazole CAS#616-47-7
1-Methylimidazole is an aprotic solvent. It is a derivative of imidazole used in the production of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, ion exchange resins, dye intermediates, textile auxiliaries, photographic chemicals, and corrosion inhibitors. It can also be used as a catalyst for the manufacture of polyurethane and a curing agent for epoxy resins. For example, when 1-methylimidazole is added to an aqueous diethylenetriamine (DETA) solution, high CO2 loading can be achieved through phase separation of the absorbent during CO2 absorption[1].
