Description

2-[2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)Ethoxy]Ethylamine is a versatile, high-purity amine-functionalized polyether, also known as a triethylene glycol butyl ether amine. This compound is valued for its unique combination of a hydrophilic polyether chain and a reactive primary amine group, making it an effective intermediate and functional additive. It is primarily sought by formulators and researchers in the coatings, adhesives, and personal care industries for its surfactant properties and ability to modify surface characteristics.

Application

• Surfactant and Emulsifier: Used in the formulation of paints, coatings, and inks to improve wetting, dispersion, and stability.
• Epoxy Curing Agent/Modifier: Acts as a reactive diluent and flexibilizer in epoxy resin systems, enhancing toughness and reducing viscosity.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Intermediate: Serves as a key building block for synthesizing film-forming amine corrosion inhibitors used in fuel additives and industrial lubricants.
• Personal Care Ingredient: Employed in hair care and skincare products as a conditioning agent and pH adjuster due to its mild basicity and solubility.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Utilized in the synthesis of drug molecules and prodrugs where polyether-amine linkages are required for solubility or targeting.
• Gas Treating Agent: Functions as an absorbent for acid gases like CO₂ and H₂S in natural gas sweetening processes.
• Polymer Modification: Incorporated into polyurethanes and polyamides to introduce hydrophilic segments and improve dyeability or antistatic properties.

Quality Control

Our 2-[2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)Ethoxy]Ethylamine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with every shipment.

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 after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and acids.
