Dipropylamine

Dipropylamine (CAS 142-84-7) is a secondary aliphatic amine used as a chemical intermediate and functional additive in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and industrial manufacturing.

Where is Dipropylamine used?

• Agrochemicals: intermediate in the synthesis of herbicide salts and active ingredient formulations, particularly for glyphosate-based products
• Pharmaceuticals: synthetic intermediate for drug compounds and buffering agent in API processing
• Metalworking and lubricants: corrosion inhibitor additive protecting metal surfaces in cutting fluids and industrial lubricants
• Polymers and plastics: amine reactivity for catalyst systems and curing agent preparation
• It acts as a pH regulator, corrosion inhibitor, and reactive building block in synthesis processes.

Good to know: Pharmaceutical-grade supply exists for API-related applications where tighter purity specifications and documentation requirements apply.

Commercial specifications

• Standard bulk packaging including drums and IBC containers, with isotank options for larger volumes
