Ethylamine

Ethylamine (CAS 75-04-7, EC 200-834-7, formula C2H7N) is a primary aliphatic amine, also referenced as ethanamine, Amine C2, and R 631. It carries no assigned E-code. It belongs to the amine chemical family and is commercially handled as a liquefied compressed gas.

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, ethylamine serves as a buffering agent and pH regulator, neutralizing acidic intermediates through proton acceptance. In polymer production, it functions as a crosslinker by reacting with epoxy or isocyanate groups to build network structures. Food-grade applications use it as a flavorant precursor, where it contributes to Maillard reaction pathways.

Ethylamine is supplied in food-grade and technical-grade specifications, with compliance documentation available under REACH registration. Procurement teams should confirm FCC or Ph.Eur. alignment depending on end-use requirements. Standard packaging formats for this liquefied gas include pressurized cylinders and ISO tank containers. HS code 29211990 applies for import classification.
