n,n-Dimethyl-p-toluidine

N,N-Dimethyl-p-toluidine (CAS 99-97-8, EC 202-805-4) is a tertiary aromatic amine supplied as a light yellow liquid, also referenced under the names 4-dimethylaminotoluene, N,N,4-trimethylaniline, and dimethyl-p-tolyl-amine. It carries no assigned E-code and is catalogued under HS code 29214300.

In polymer and coatings applications, it functions as a room-temperature accelerator for peroxide-initiated curing systems, activating benzoyl peroxide to generate free radicals without applied heat. It also serves as a co-initiator in UV-curable printing inks, where it donates electrons to excited photoinitiators to accelerate crosslinking, and appears as a flavoring agent in food and nutrition formulations.
