Dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA) is a diamine that can be used in the preparation of some surfactants, including cocamidopropyl betaine which is an ingredient in many personal care products such as soaps, shampoos and cosmetics. DMAPA-derivatives are appropriate for shampoos as they do not sting the eyes and also make fine-bubble foams.

    As a cross linking & bonding agent for epoxy novolac resins which are used to make adhesives & protective coating having great bonding strength.

  • applications
    Fuel Additives

    Derivatives based on DMAPA can be used in fuels as cloud point reducers, dispersants & stabilizers for prevention of deposits / icing and reduction of octane number requirement.

  • applications
    Lube Additives

    Derivatives can be used as dispersants, V.I. improvers, antioxidants & corrosion inhibitors for lubricants.

  • applications
    Flocculants

    Water soluble cationic polyelectrolytes based on DMAPA act as a flocculant in removing floating solids & oil from waste water. Same can be used as a drilling fluid in the mining industry for recovering coal dust & minerals from the wash water.

Storage

  • Can be stored in a safe manner in closed containers for a long period. Avoid contact with copper and its alloys.
  • DMAPA drums should be stored in a cool and well ventilated area, away from source of ignition.

Health & Safety
