  • Applications

    Nabam (CAS 142-59-6) is typically used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and may be employed as a solvent or processing aid in specialty chemical manufacturing; in polymer and coating formulations it can function as a stabilizer or processing additive to improve material stability and handling; it may also act as a precursor to aromatic amide compounds used as building blocks for downstream intermediates; in addition, Nabam could be evaluated for applications in adhesives or inks as a reactive intermediate. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
