Product introduction
1,2-Diaminopropane (IUPAC: propan-1,2-diamine; CAS 78-90-0) is a low-molecular-weight aliphatic diamine supplied commercially as a colorless to pale yellow hygroscopic liquid with a characteristic amine odor. It is used as a reactive chemical intermediate for the manufacture of polyamines, curing agents, chelating ligands, speciality surfactants and heterocyclic building blocks. Commercial grades include technical and reagent specifications; purchasers should request lot Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to qualification.
Applications & Descriptions
-
Curing Agent For Epoxy And Thermosets
Used as a reactive diamine curing agent or co-curative to impart crosslink density, accelerate cure and modify mechanical and thermal properties in epoxy, polyurethane and other thermoset formulations. -
Chemical Intermediate For Fine Chemicals
Serves as a building block for synthesis of heterocycles, amine derivatives, surfactants, corrosion inhibitors and speciality intermediates where primary diamine functionality is required. -
Polyamine And Polyamide Precursor
Used in the production of polyamines and specialty polyamides where the propyl spacer and primary amine end-groups influence polymer flexibility and adhesion. -
Catalyst/Promoter And Ligand Precursor
Employed to prepare chelating ligands, coordination compounds and catalysts for homogeneous and supported catalytic systems in chemical synthesis. -
Corrosion Inhibitor & Oilfield Additive Intermediate
Used to synthesize amine-type corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors and other oilfield chemical additives where polar amine groups improve adsorption and performance. -
Analytical Reagent & Laboratory Use
Supplied as a reagent for organic synthesis, method development and small-scale laboratory research where primary diamines are required.
