Applications

Amines are used in a wide variety of applications and products:

  • Cleaning products – enabling multi-functional cleaning products with low streaking and filming, as well as contributing to excellent stability for a longer shelf life
  • Coatings – providing pH adjustment while improving the solubility and dispersibility of other components in both water-based and solvent-based coating formulations; acting as hardeners for epoxy-based systems
  • Multi-use emulsifier – providing excellent corrosion protection and emulsifying capabilities when added to asphalt chemicals and lube oil additives
  • Personal care – helping balance pH in personal care products while still being gentle on the eyes – often used in baby and pet shampoos
  • Fabric softeners – offering excellent emulsifying and softening properties with low sensitivity for fabric softeners
  • Pharmaceuticals – widely used as intermediates in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients
  • Many more uses – including gas treating, fuel additives, wet-strength resins, hydrocarbon purification, metalworking, cement and concrete grinding aids, herbicides and ore flotation
