product description

Tetramethylammonium hydroxide liquid state: Commonly, it is a colorless and transparent aqueous solution (concentration 25% - 50%). High-purity products have no impurity color, while industrial grades may be slightly light yellow. It has strong alkalinity (pH≈14) and an ammonia smell, and its viscosity increases with the increase of concentration. Solid state: White crystalline powder, with extremely strong hygroscopicity. At room temperature, it rapidly deliquesces into a viscous liquid. Therefore, it rarely exists in pure solid form and mostly in the form of hydrates (such as pentahydrate).
