  • Applications

    Bis(2-ethylhexyl)amine (CAS 106-20-7) is typically used as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of quaternary ammonium surfactants for detergents, cleaners, and coatings; it can function as a nonpolar solvent or processing aid in various industrial formulations; it acts as a catalytic or processing additive in polymerization and coating systems where tertiary amines help accelerate reactions; it may serve as a specialty lubricant additive or processing aid in plastics and metalworking formulations; and it serves as a building block for other specialty chemicals used in cleaners, coatings, and electronics-related formulations.
