CAS 123-77-3: Azodicarbonamide

Description: Azodicarbonamide (CAS 123-77-3) is a chemical compound commonly used as a blowing agent in the production of foamed plastics, particularly in the manufacturing of rubber and thermoplastics. It appears as a yellow to orange powder and is known for its ability to decompose upon heating, releasing nitrogen gas, which creates a cellular structure in the material. Azodicarbonamide is also utilized as a food additive, although its use in food products is subject to regulatory scrutiny in various countries due to potential health concerns. The compound is stable under normal conditions but can pose risks when exposed to high temperatures or flames, leading to the release of toxic gases such as nitrogen oxides. In terms of solubility, azodicarbonamide is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Its chemical formula is C2H4N4O4, and it features a symmetrical structure with two azide groups, contributing to its reactivity and utility in various industrial applications. Safety precautions are recommended when handling this substance due to its potential hazards.
