Product Application

1.Textile Industry (Primary Use):

Durable Press / Anti-Wrinkle Finishing:​ The dominant application. Crosslinks with cellulose hydroxyl groups in cotton and cotton-blend fabrics, imparting excellent wrinkle resistance, shrinkage control, and shape retention. Key to "permanent press" or "no-iron" garments.

2.Paper Industry:

Wet-Strength Resin:​ A key component in the production of polyamide-epichlorohydrin (PAE) resins, which are crucial for increasing the wet tensile strength of paper (e.g., in towels, filters, packaging).

Sizing Agent Component:​ Improves water resistance of paper.

3.Oil & Gas Industry:

Fracturing Fluid Crosslinker:​ Used to crosslink guar gum and other polysaccharide-based polymers to create high-viscosity fracturing gels for hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") operations.

4.Pharmaceuticals & Biochemistry:

Tissue Fixative:​ Used for fixing biological specimens due to its ability to crosslink proteins.

Hardening Agent:​ For gelatin capsules, preventing them from sticking together and enabling enteric (delayed-release) properties.

5.Chemical Intermediate:

Used in the synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds (e.g., imidazoles, quinoxalines), which are important intermediates for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes.

Production of glyoxylic acid, vanillin, etc.

6. Other Applications:

Modifier for wood adhesives​ (urea-formaldehyde resins).

Leather tanning​ agent.

Water treatment​ agent (biocide/algicide).

Storage

Store in a cool, well-ventilated place. Protect from direct sunlight and heat sources.Keep container tightly closed.Store away from oxidizers, strong bases, and amines.Due to polymerization potential, monitor shelf life and do not store for excessively long periods, especially at elevated temperatures.
