FAQs
What is oxamide?
Oxamide is the diamide of oxalic acid, with the chemical formula (CONH2)2. It is a stable white solid used as a chemical intermediate and reference material. It has also been studied as a slow-release nitrogen source and in various specialty applications across research and industry.
What are the purity and identity?
This TCI product (O0086) is a minimum 98.0% grade, CAS number 471-46-5, with molecular formula (CONH2)2 and molecular weight 88.07. It is a white to almost white powder to crystal. Confirming these identifiers ensures you receive the correct reagent for your application.
What is oxamide used for?
Oxamide serves as a chemical intermediate and reference material and has been investigated as a slow-release nitrogen source because it releases nitrogen gradually. Its stability as a solid makes it convenient to handle and store for research and specialty chemical applications.
What sizes are available?
The reagent is offered in 25 g, 100 g, and 500 g pack sizes. Choosing a size close to your expected usage helps manage cost and storage. The smaller sizes suit exploratory work, while the larger size is more economical for higher-volume research or preparation.
How should it be stored?
Store the material according to the manufacturer's guidance on the Safety Data Sheet, typically as a stable solid kept properly closed. Good storage practice preserves purity over the shelf life. Check the label and documentation for any specific temperature or handling requirements before use.
