Tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA)

Tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) is a polyamine compound with the chemical formula C₆H₁₉N₅. It is a colorless to light yellow viscous liquid with a strong ammonia-like odor. TEPA is primarily used in the production of curing agents, epoxy resins, and as a stabilizer in various chemical processes. It’s highly reactive due to its multiple amine groups, making it useful in a wide range of industrial and chemical applications.

Key Uses:

• Curing agent for epoxy resins, especially in coatings and adhesives

• Intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals

• Water treatment chemicals, such as corrosion inhibitors

• Used in the production of surfactants and detergents

• Manufacturing of polyurethane foams and elastomers
