Description

2,2'-Iminodipropanol CAS NO 2294-46-4 is a versatile amino alcohol compound, functioning as a key building block and intermediate in organic synthesis. Its bifunctional nature, containing both a secondary amine and two primary hydroxyl groups, makes it valuable for creating polymers, chelating agents, and specialty surfactants. This chemical is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and personal care industries seeking to develop products with specific performance characteristics.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, particularly those requiring a functionalized amino alcohol backbone.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Acts as a chain extender, cross-linking agent, or curing agent in the production of polyurethanes, epoxy resins, and polyamides, imparting flexibility and chemical resistance.
• Chelating Agent Precursor: Serves as a starting material for the manufacture of chelating ligands used in water treatment, metal cleaning formulations, and as stabilizers in various industrial processes.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Incorporated into coatings and functional fluids to provide protective properties against metal degradation.
• Personal Care & Cosmetic Ingredients: Utilized in the synthesis of emulsifiers, surfactants, and conditioning agents for shampoos, creams, and other personal care products.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed as an intermediate in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Gas Treating Agent: Used in formulations for the removal of acidic gases like CO2 and H2S in natural gas processing and refining.

Quality Control

Our 2,2'-Iminodipropanol is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by titration and impurity profile analysis by gas chromatography (GC). Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and specific tests are available for every shipment upon request, supporting compliance in regulated applications.

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 and handling properties. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
