APPLICATIONS
Because of their high reactivity amines, either as such or in the form of their derivatives, find numerous uses in a wide range of fields. The most important applications for the alkylamines in our product range are the following:
- as intermediates for the synthesis of herbicides, fungicides and insecticides and for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals (anesthetics, antibiotics, antiseptics)
- as catalysts for chemical reactions, polymerization reactions and polycondensation reactions
- as starting compounds for the manufacture of corrosion inhibitors, emulsifiers (am-photeric surfactants), flotation aids, detergents and ion exchange resins
- for the manufacture of chemicals for rubber processing, e.g. vulcanization accelerators and antioxidants as well as stabilizers, antistatic agents and plasticizers
- as intermediates for the synthesis of dye components, and textile auxiliaries
- as synthesis starting products for the manufacture of antistatic and impregnating agents for textiles
- as hardeners for epoxy resins
- in the form of solvents or reactive solvents, for example in metal extraction
- for the manufacture of developers in the photographic industry
- for the manufacture of anticaking agents
- as a component of additives for the gasoline and lubricant sector
