3-propoxypropylamine

3-Propoxypropylamine (CAS 16728-59-9) is a primary amine with an ether-linked propoxy group; a reactive intermediate and functional additive.

Where is 3-propoxypropylamine used?

• Oil, gas and water treatment: corrosion inhibitor and pH buffer protecting metal infrastructure in aggressive aqueous or hydrocarbon media
• Coatings and adhesives: curing agent or reactive diluent, the primary amine group driving crosslinking with epoxy resins
• Lubricants and metalworking fluids: emulsion stabiliser and pH balance under high-load operating conditions
• Pharmaceutical and specialty chemical production: synthetic building block for active ingredients and functional intermediates requiring an ether-amine scaffold
• Its amine reactivity and ether solubility suit it to corrosion inhibition, pH control and emulsification.

Good to know: Buyers sourcing for pharmaceutical synthesis should confirm purity specifications and documentation requirements with the supplier, as high-purity grades may be available.
