Description

n-(n-Propyl)Diethanolamine, [N,n-Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)-n-Propylamine] is a versatile tertiary amine and diol compound, serving as a key multifunctional intermediate in organic synthesis. Its bifunctional nature, combining a basic amine group with two hydroxyl groups, makes it valuable for creating specialized surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and polymer additives. This chemical is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and coatings industries seeking to develop products with tailored performance characteristics.

Application

• Surfactant and Emulsifier Synthesis: Acts as a key intermediate for producing nonionic and cationic surfactants used in personal care products, industrial cleaners, and textile processing.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulations: Utilized in the manufacture of additives for metalworking fluids, cooling water systems, and fuel additives to protect against rust and scale.
• Pharmaceutical and Agrochemical Intermediates: Serves as a building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and specialized agrochemicals like herbicides and plant growth regulators.
• Polymer and Resin Modification: Used as a cross-linking agent or chain extender in polyurethane, epoxy, and other specialty polymer systems to modify flexibility and curing properties.
• Gas Treating and CO2 Capture: Employed in formulations for acid gas scrubbing processes due to its amine functionality, helping to remove contaminants like hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide.
• Lubricant and Fuel Additives: Incorporated into formulations to improve detergency, dispersion, and anti-wear properties in engine oils and industrial lubricants.

Quality Control

Our n-(n-Propyl)Diethanolamine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and physical properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available for every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

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