1.Tetramethylguanidine can be used for polyurethane foam catalysts.
2.Tetramethylguanidine can also be used as nylon, wool and other protein leveling agent.3. Catalyst in organic synthesis: TMG is often used as a strong base and catalyst in organic reactions, such as nucleophilic substitution and deprotonation reactions.
4. Chemical reactions: used to synthesize various organic compounds, including drugs and agrochemicals.
5. Electrolyte in Batteries: TMG can be used as an electrolyte in certain types of batteries, especially in research settings.
6. PH Adjustment: Due to its alkaline nature, TMG can be used to adjust the pH in chemical processes.
7. Research Applications: TMG is used in a variety of research applications, including studies involving reaction mechanisms and the development of new synthetic methods.
Stored in a dry and ventilated warehouse.
1. Container: Store TMG in a sealed container to prevent contamination and evaporation. Use containers made of materials that are compatible with strong bases.
2. Temperature: Store TMG in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Room temperature is generally suitable, but should be kept below 25°C (77°F) whenever possible.
3. Humidity: Because TMG is hygroscopic (it absorbs moisture from the air), it is important to store it in a low humidity environment to prevent it from absorbing moisture.
4. Safety Precautions: Ensure storage area is well ventilated and take appropriate safety measures as TMG may be irritating to skin and eyes.
5. Label: Clearly label containers with the chemical name, concentration, and any relevant hazard information.
Tetramethylguanidine (TMG) can be harmful to the human body if proper safety precautions are not taken. Here are some key points about its toxicity and safety:
1. Irritation: TMG can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Direct contact with liquid can cause chemical burns or irritation.
2. Inhalation: Inhalation of TMG vapor may cause respiratory irritation and other adverse effects.
3. Ingestion: Ingestion of TMG may be harmful and may cause gastrointestinal irritation or other systemic effects.
4. Safety Precautions: When handling TMG, always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a well-ventilated area or use a fume hood to minimize exposure.
5. First Aid: If exposed to drugs, take appropriate first aid measures, such as flushing the affected area with water and seeking medical attention if necessary.
When transporting Tetramethylguanidine (TMG), some precautions should be taken to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. Here are some key considerations to take into account:
1. Regulatory Compliance: Check and follow local, national, and international regulations regarding the transportation of dangerous goods. TMG may be classified as a hazardous material, so ensure all shipping documents are accurate and complete.
2. Packaging: Use appropriate packaging materials that are compatible with TMG. Containers should be leakproof and made of materials that can withstand the characteristics of the chemical. Use secondary seals to prevent leakage during transportation.
3. Label: Clearly label the packaging with the chemical name, hazard symbol, and any relevant safety information. This includes handling instructions and emergency contact information.
4. Temperature Control: Ensure that shipping conditions maintain a stable temperature, as extreme temperatures can affect the stability of TMG.
5. Avoid moisture: Since TMG is hygroscopic, please ensure that the packaging is moisture-proof to prevent water absorption during transportation.
6. Mode of transport: Choose an appropriate mode of transport (land, air, sea) that complies with dangerous goods regulations. Make sure the transport vehicle is equipped with the necessary equipment to safely handle dangerous goods.
7. Emergency Procedures: Provide information on emergency procedures in the event of a spill or leak during transport. Ensure personnel involved in transport are trained to handle hazardous materials.
8. Documentation: This includes all necessary shipping documents such as bill of lading, safety data sheet (SDS) and any required permits or declarations.
