Product Description

Urethane (ethyl carbamate) is a high-purity organic compound commonly used in chemical research, organic synthesis, and laboratory studies in biochemistry and polymer science.

⚠ Safety Note: Ethyl carbamate is a suspected carcinogen. Handle with care using gloves, goggles, and a dust mask. Avoid inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact.

Common Applications Include:

• Laboratory reagent for organic chemistry research

• Intermediate in chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis

• Educational and research applications in biochemistry and polymer science

Urethane should be stored in a cool, dry place in tightly sealed containers, away from strong acids and bases. Personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and a dust mask should be used during handling.
