Tetramethyldipropylenetriamine

CAS: 6711-48-4

Overview

Tetramethyldipropylenetriamine (CAS 6711-48-4 ) is a tertiary triamine used as a catalyst and curing agent in polyurethane and epoxy systems. Its balanced amine functionality supports controlled reactivity across a range of polymer formulations.

This chemical is a practical choice for formulators managing cure speed and crosslink density. In polyurethane foam and elastomer production, it acts as a blowing and gelling catalyst, influencing cell structure and mechanical properties.

Epoxy formulators use it as a curing agent or co-curing agent where extended pot life and moderate cure temperatures are required. In adhesive and sealant systems, it supports crosslinking in two-component formulations targeting structural bonding.

The product is also suitable for flexible sealing applications. Lubricant and metalworking fluid manufacturers use amine-based catalysts of this type as corrosion inhibitor intermediates or additive precursors for specialized industrial fluids.

Tetramethyldipropylenetriamine is supplied as a liquid. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with purity levels typically specified at 98% or higher for catalyst applications to ensure consistent performance.

Packaging ranges from drums to IBC totes depending on order volume. This material should be handled according to standard safety protocols for industrial amines, ensuring proper storage in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated facility.
