2-(Nitroimino)imidazolidine derivatives act as a chain extender in polymerization process and can form thermally stable polymeric products. Protonated adducts can be used as a curing agent and in aqueous electrocoating baths. Adducts of imidazolidine compounds are utilized as a heterocyclic ligand in transition-metal coordination chemistry. Alkyl imidazolines are used as a microbiocide, algaecide or fungicide used in fuel and oil.
