Dibenzylamine

Dibenzylamine (CAS 103-49-1), commonly abbreviated as DBA, is a secondary amine used as a chemical intermediate and functional additive in polymer, coatings, and specialty chemical manufacturing.

Where is Dibenzylamine used?

• Rubber and elastomer production: vulcanization accelerator
• Coatings and adhesives: curing component in epoxy and polyurethane systems where controlled reactivity is required
• Catalyst manufacturing: precursor or co-catalyst in polymerization reactions
• Flavor and fragrance: synthetic intermediate for aroma compounds targeting specific scent profiles
• It acts as a building block for synthesizing more complex amine derivatives, a curing agent, and a catalyst component in industrial processes.

Good to know: Standard commercial grades include technical-grade material with purity specifications commonly ranging from 98% to 99%+. Reagent-grade material is available for applications requiring tighter impurity control.

Commercial specifications

• Technical-grade purity commonly 98% to 99%+
• Reagent-grade material for tighter impurity control
• Drum and IBC packaging for industrial volumes
