  • Applications

    Allylamine (CAS 107-11-9) is a reactive chemical intermediate widely used to make amino-functional polymers and related materials. In polymers and plastics, it is polymerized or functionalized to yield polyamines and amino-functional resins that serve as binders, adhesion promoters, or precursors to coatings and composites. In water treatment and papermaking, derivative polymers derived from allylamine act as cationic polyelectrolytes for flocculation and charge control. In coatings and adhesives, allylamine-based resins provide curing agents and formulation modifiers that enhance adhesion and network build. It also serves as a building block for specialty surfactants and cleaning additives, including cationic surfactants used in detergents and coatings. Additionally, allylamine is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds, enabling production of active ingredients and related intermediates.
