What is morpholine

Morpholine is a strong base, which is mainly used as solvent for dyes, resins and waxes. This compound belongs to both amines and ethers. The secondary amine nitrogen atom makes morpholine alkaline. Morpholine can generate morpholine hydrochloride, which will become morpholine hydrochloride when reacting with hydrochloric acid. Morpholine has a very wide range of industrial uses. It is an intermediate of many fine chemicals. Morpholine plays a role in rubber, medicine, pesticide, coating, medical equipment and other fields.

Morpholine is a toxic substance, and workers should not inhale morpholine vapor. At work, workers need to wear protective clothing to isolate contact. In case of accidental skin contact with morpholine, workers need to immediately take off their clothes contaminated with poison and wash them with flowing water. After that, the poisoned person should be sent to a doctor for treatment. If the worker's eyes contact morpholine, wash them with water immediately. If workers accidentally ingest morpholine, they should immediately gargle with water and drink milk or egg white. If workers accidentally inhale morpholine, they should be immediately transferred to a fresh air place. If the poisoning and breathing difficulties occur, they should be treated with oxygen. If an accident occurs to a worker or at work, seek medical advice immediately.
