Diethylenetriamine, 99%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Diethylenetriamine is used as a solvent for plastics, dyes and in chemical synthesis. It serves as a curing agent for epoxy-resins. As a tridentate ligand, it form complexes such as Co(dien)(NO₂)₃ in coordination chemistry. It is also used as a fuel additive. It reacts with fatty acid resulting in the formation of amidoamines, which are used as corrosion inhibitors in the petroleum industry. It is associated with unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine to prepare hydyne, which is a propellant for liquid-fuel rockets.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
