General Description
(Hydroxymethyl)urea, also known as methylolurea or N-(hydroxymethyl)urea, is a derivative of urea where a hydroxymethyl group (–CH2OH) is attached to the nitrogen atom. It is commonly used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of resins, adhesives, and other industrial applications due to its reactivity and ability to form cross-linked structures. (Hydroxymethyl)urea exhibits both hydrophilic and reactive properties, making it useful in modifications of polymers and biomaterials. Its stability and solubility in water further enhance its utility in various formulations.
