Isopropylamine

Isopropylamine (CAS 75-31-0), also known as MIPA, is a primary aliphatic amine; a reactive building block and functional intermediate in chemical manufacturing.

Where is Isopropylamine used?

• Coatings and adhesives: crosslinking agent and curing catalyst improving film hardness and adhesion in epoxy and polyurethane systems
• Polymers: incorporated into flame retardant formulations contributing nitrogen-based char-forming chemistry to reduce combustibility in finished plastics
• Food and flavour production: FEMA 4238 flavour agent used at trace levels to develop characteristic taste profiles in processed food
• Agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and rubber accelerators: synthesis intermediate
• It acts as a curing agent, pH modifier and flavouring precursor depending on the end application.

Good to know: Food-grade supply aligned with FEMA-listed status is available from select manufacturers for flavour industry use.

Commercial specifications

• Drum, IBC and bulk tanker quantities
• Technical grade standard, purity commonly 99% or higher
