Description

N,N,N',N'-Tetrakis(2-Hydroxypropyl)Ethylenediamine is a versatile, multifunctional amine-alcohol compound, primarily valued as a key reactive intermediate and crosslinking agent. Its structure, featuring four hydroxyl groups and two tertiary amine centers, provides excellent chelating properties and reactivity with isocyanates and epoxies. This makes it essential for manufacturers in the polyurethane, coatings, and personal care industries seeking to enhance product performance, durability, and functionality.

Application

• Polyurethane Catalysis & Crosslinking: Acts as a reactive chain extender and crosslinker in flexible and rigid polyurethane foams, elastomers, and coatings, improving mechanical strength and curing characteristics.
• Epoxy Resin Hardener: Serves as a curing agent for epoxy resin systems, contributing to improved adhesion, chemical resistance, and thermal stability in composite and coating applications.
• Chelating Agent: Utilized in formulations for metal treatment, water treatment, and textile processing due to its effective sequestering ability for metal ions like copper and iron.
• Personal Care & Cosmetic Ingredients: Functions as a pH adjuster, emulsifier, and hair dye intermediate in shampoos, conditioners, and other cosmetic formulations.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Employed in the synthesis of certain pharmaceutical compounds and drug delivery systems.
• Fuel & Lubricant Additive: Used as a component in fuel detergents and lubricant additives to control deposits and improve performance.

Quality Control

Our N,N,N',N'-Tetrakis(2-Hydroxypropyl)Ethylenediamine is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key specifications such as assay, water content, and color are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
