Description
Dibenzylamine (CAS 103-49-1) is a secondary amine derived from benzylamine, commercially known under abbreviations including DBZA, DIBAM, and Accelerator DBA. It carries no assigned E-code. The compound is registered under REACH and classified within EC number 203-117-7.
In rubber and elastomer processing, dibenzylamine functions as a vulcanization accelerator, promoting sulfur crosslink formation to improve mechanical strength and heat resistance. In food and fragrance applications, it serves as a flavorant and aromatic intermediate, contributing specific amine-derived notes to finished formulations. It also acts as a catalyst and antioxidant stabilizer in polymer and coating systems.
Dibenzylamine is supplied as a liquid suitable for industrial formulation use across food, coatings, adhesives, personal care, and plastics sectors. Procurement professionals should confirm grade compliance with applicable REACH obligations and customer-specific quality standards. Standard packaging formats are available upon request through our European supply network.
