Morpholine

CAS 110-91-8 · Formula C4H9NO · MW 87.12 g/mol

A cyclic secondary amine used to inhibit boiler corrosion and build rubber accelerators. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor and pH-control additive in boiler water and steam systems, as a solvent for resins, waxes, casein, and dyes, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of rubber accelerators, optical brighteners, and other organics.

Full Description

Morpholine (CAS 110-91-8) is a cyclic secondary amine containing both oxygen and nitrogen in the ring. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor and pH-control additive in boiler water and steam systems, as a solvent for resins, waxes, casein, and dyes, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of rubber accelerators, optical brighteners, and other organics. It also serves in waxes, polishes, and cleaning formulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is morpholine used for?

Morpholine (CAS 110-91-8) is a cyclic secondary amine used as a corrosion inhibitor and pH-control additive in boiler-water and steam systems, as a solvent for resins, waxes, casein, and dyes, and as an intermediate for rubber accelerators, optical brighteners, and other organics. It is also used in waxes, polishes, and cleaning formulations. We supply it in bulk to water-treatment and chemical-manufacturing operations.

Is morpholine the same as morphine?

No. Despite the similar name, morpholine (CAS 110-91-8, C4H9NO) is a small cyclic amine containing one oxygen and one nitrogen in the ring, used industrially as a corrosion inhibitor and solvent. It is chemically unrelated to morphine, which is a complex alkaloid.

What is morpholine also known as?

Morpholine (CAS 110-91-8) is also referred to as tetrahydro-1,4-oxazine or diethylenimide oxide. It is a cyclic secondary amine with both oxygen and nitrogen in a six-membered ring, formula C4H9NO.

What HS code and UN number apply to morpholine?

Morpholine is classified under HS 2934.99 and ships under UN 2054 (morpholine). The current SDS governs classification, handling, and transport documentation, which we provide with each shipment along with the CoA.

What is the cost of bulk morpholine?

Bulk morpholine pricing depends on volume, packaging (drum, tote/IBC, or bulk), and market conditions. Request a quote with your target quantity and ship-to location for current pricing and lead time.
