  • Applications

    Chlorimide (CAS 3400-09-7) is commonly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and can function as a chlorine-donating reagent for chlorination or oxidation steps; it is also studied for use in the manufacture of specialty polymers and plastics for functionalization or crosslinking; it may serve as a reactive additive in coatings and inks; it can participate in surface treatment or cleaning formulations as a reactive halogen source; in electronics, it is considered for surface processing or as a precursor in related synthesis; and it is sometimes used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis.
