Variations
Hydrazine hydrate 80% is a clear, colorless, flammable liquid with a strong ammonia-like odor. It's an inorganic compound with a minimum assay of 80%, a molecular weight of 50.06, and a density of 1.028–1.030. It's soluble in water, ethanol, methanol, propanol, and isobutanol.
Hydrazine hydrate 80% is used as a reducing agent, solvent, and foaming agent in polymer foams. It's also used as a precursor to polymerization catalysts and pharmaceuticals.
Hydrazine is highly toxic and dangerously unstable unless handled in solution. For non-emergency personnel, emergency procedures include evacuating unnecessary personnel. For emergency responders, emergency procedures include using personal protective equipment as required and ventilating the area.
Remarks
Pharmaceutical application :
Hydrazine hydrate (HH) is a colorless, oily, fuming liquid with an ammonia-like odor. It has many applications, including as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, rubber chemicals, and pesticides. It is also used as a reducing agent, corrosion inhibitor, and oxygen scavenger.
In pharmaceuticals, HH is used as a source for the drug hydralazine, an anti-tubercular drug. It is also used as a reagent in the synthesis of 3-amino-2-thiohydantoins.
HH is toxic if swallowed, in contact with skin, or inhaled. It can cause severe skin burns, eye damage, and allergic skin reactions. It is also very toxic to aquatic life. When handling HH, you should wear protective gloves, clothing, eye protection, and face protection. If swallowed, you should rinse your mouth but do not induce vomiting. If it gets on your skin, you should gently wash it off.
