Methyl-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride is used as a curing agent in epoxy resins and in the preparation of vertically aligned and penetrated carbon nanotube/polymer film. It serves as an intermediate in polyesters, alkyd resins and plasticizers. It is also used in electrical laminating and filament-winding. Further, it is used in the preparation of methyl nadimides endcapped resins based on tris(3-aminophenyl)phosphine oxide. It is utilized in the flame retarding treatment.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
