Tetramethylammonium hydroxide 25% TMAH CAS 75-59-2

Tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) is a strong base and a key alkylating agent used in chemical synthesis and organic reactions. It is commonly used in industrial processes such as electroplating, cleaning agents, and as a reagent in the synthesis of various organic compounds. TMAH is a highly reactive substance, typically available in an aqueous solution form.

It plays an important role in enhancing chemical reactions, hydrolysis, and as a catalyst in various organic syntheses. It is particularly used in polymer production and semiconductor manufacturing. TMAH is highly soluble in water and should be handled with care due to its strongly basic nature.

Application:

Electroplating:TMAH is used as a cleaning agent in the electroplating industry, helping to clean metal surfaces before plating.

Chemical Synthesis:In organic chemistry, it is used to produce alkylated compounds and as a strong base in nucleophilic substitution reactions.

Polymerization:TMAH is used in polymer production as a catalyst to facilitate polymerization reactions in the manufacture of plastics and synthetic rubbers.

Semiconductor Industry:It plays a role in the cleaning and etching of semiconductor materials.

Surfactant Manufacturing:TMAH is used in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium surfactants, which are employed in cleaning products and disinfectants.

Usage Guidelines:

Usage Guidelines:Handling: Use appropriate protective gloves and goggles when handling TMAH as it is caustic and can cause skin burns.

Storage: Store in airtight containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances.

Dilution: Can be diluted with water for specific applications. Care should be taken during dilution as it generates heat.

Health Hazards: Corrosive to skin and eyes. Inhalation of vapors or mist may cause irritation to the respiratory tract.

Environmental Hazards: TMAOH should not be released into water or soil as it may harm aquatic life. Dispose of waste according to local regulations.
