Liquid anhydride for curing low viscosity embedding resin for electron microscopy (E.M.), particularly used in Spurr formulations.1 Other Nonenyl Succinic Anhydride (NSA) applications:
Low-viscosity epoxy hardener yielding semi–flexible resins, suitable for electronics.
NSA cured resins for improved water resistance.
Corrosion inhibitor for non-aqueous systems such as lubricants, hydraulic fluids, greases and fuels.
Detergent intermediate or hydrophobic, anionic attractant for metal cleaning.
