Aziridine (C₂H₅N) is a strained, reactive heterocycle widely used as an intermediate in specialty chemical synthesis. Its ring strain makes it an effective alkylating agent for polymer and crosslinking reactions.
Aziridine
Used in the manufacture of wet-strength resins, paper and textile coatings, and epoxy crosslinkers. It also serves as a building block for pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.
Highly reactive, toxic, and potentially carcinogenic. Handling requires closed systems, explosion-proof ventilation, and full PPE. Avoid moisture and heat sources.
Typically supplied in small stabilized drums or ampoules under inert gas. Store in cool, dry areas with strict containment controls.
