Imidazole is a crystalline powder with an amine-like odor. It is soluble in water.

Synonyms: Methanimidamide, N,N’-1,2-ethenediyl, 1,3-Diazole, 1,3-Diaza-2,4-cyclopentadiene

Epoxy Resin Market

• As a hardener or accelerator, the imidazoles become part of the resin
• Used as a catalyst, the imidazoles are not consumed by the hardening process but make the oxygen of the epoxy more attractive for reactions with other components

Epoxy Curing Agents

The advantages are:

• Very long work life
• Very fast elevated temperature cure (100°C – 180°C). Excellent high temperature stability
• Good adhesion on metals
• Form resins with a high tensile strength

Applications for Imidazole

• Pharmaceuticals
• Crop protection agents
• Pesticides
• Dyes
• Photographic chemicals
• Polyurethane catalysts
• Hardeners for epoxy resins
• Corrosion inhibitors
