Uses of Hydrazine

In addition to rocket fuel, hydrazine is used as a blowing agent and in the pharmaceutical and fertilizer industries. Due to the weak N-N bond, it is used as a polymerization initiator. As a reducing agent, hydrazine is used as an oxygen scavenger for steam boilers. It is also a selective reducing agent for nitro compounds. Hydrazine is a good building block for many chemicals, especially agricultural products, which dominates its use.
