Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies N-Methylmorpholine (CAS 109-02-4) as a 99% pure liquid to lyocell-fibre, polyurethane-foam, pharmaceutical and peptide manufacturers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and all seven Emirates, against documented industrial end use, with batch-wise COA and compliant dangerous-goods delivery.
N-Methylmorpholine (NMM, 4-methylmorpholine) is a tertiary amine in which a methyl group sits on the nitrogen of the morpholine ring. It is a colourless, flammable liquid with an ammonia-like odour that mixes freely with water and most organic solvents.
It is the raw material for N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO), the solvent used to make lyocell fibre, a catalyst in polyurethane foam, a base in peptide coupling, an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and a corrosion inhibitor and solvent in specialty formulations.
As an established chemical supplier in the UAE, Chelora Chemicals sources N-Methylmorpholine from approved manufacturers with consistent assay and low levels of morpholine, N-ethylmorpholine and water, and delivers it to customers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, as well as export customers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Africa and South Asia.

NMMO (N-methylmorpholine N-oxide) is made by oxidising NMM, typically with hydrogen peroxide. In the lyocell process, NMMO dissolves cellulose directly, and it is recovered and recycled, with NMM among the by-products that must be reconverted.
It is a tertiary amine that is basic enough to neutralise acids and activate coupling agents but weaker and bulkier than some alternatives, which can reduce racemisation of sensitive amino acids. The choice of base is set by each manufacturer's validated process.
