Propylamine

Propylamine (CAS 107-10-8) is a primary aliphatic amine used as a reactive intermediate and pH modifier in pharmaceutical, polymer and flavour chemistry. FEMA 4237.

Where is Propylamine used?

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing: intermediate in the synthesis of active ingredients, including antihistamines and cardiovascular compounds
• Polymer production: curing agent and cross-linker for epoxy systems, where amine reactivity influences cure rate and mechanical properties
• Flavour formulation: contributes to aroma profiles at controlled concentrations under FEMA guidelines
• Personal care: pH buffer and neutralizing agent for precise alkalinity control
• Its reactivity toward carbonyl compounds, acids and isocyanates makes it a building block for synthesized end products.

Good to know: Pharmaceutical-grade material is available where API synthesis or regulated flavour use requires tighter specification and documentation.

Commercial specifications

• Liquid, typically at high purity grades suited to pharmaceutical and industrial synthesis
