Description

Triethylenetetramine Tetrahydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of the polyamine triethylenetetramine, a key chemical intermediate with enhanced stability and handling properties. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile building block in organic synthesis and as a critical reagent in biochemical research. It is essential for manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors who require a high-purity, reliable source of a functionalized polyamine.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring polyamine backbones or as a precursor for chelating agents.
• Biochemical Research Reagent: Serves as a cross-linking agent, a modifier for biomolecules, or a standard in analytical chemistry applications.
• Polymer & Resin Production: Acts as a curing agent or hardener in epoxy resin systems and as a monomer in the production of specialty polyamides and polyimides.
• Chelating Agent Synthesis: A key starting material for manufacturing advanced chelating agents used in water treatment, textiles, and pulp & paper industries.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Used in the development of additives for metalworking fluids and coatings.

Quality Control

Our Triethylenetetramine Tetrahydrochloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept sealed under dry, inert conditions to prevent moisture absorption. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
