Description
3-Chloro-2-methylaniline (CAS 87-60-5, EC 201-756-6) is an aromatic amine supplied under trade designations including Fast Scarlet TR Base and CI 37080. It belongs to the chloromethylaniline family and carries the molecular formula C7H8ClN. No E-code applies to this substance.
In textile and leather dyeing, it functions as an azo dye coupling component, generating fast scarlet shades through diazotization on fiber. In polymer systems, it acts as a crosslinker and curing co-agent, reacting with epoxy or isocyanate groups to build network density. It is also evaluated as a photoinitiator component in printing and packaging formulations.
This material is available in liquid form and supplied in standard industrial packaging in compliance with REACH registration requirements. Procurement teams should confirm SDS documentation and substance identity against EC 201-756-6 prior to ordering. Buyers in regulated markets should review applicable restrictions under REACH Annex XVII for aromatic amine derivatives.
