Description

Benzylamine (CAS 100-46-9 ), also known as BZA, is a primary aromatic amine used as a reactive building block and functional intermediate across chemical manufacturing. It serves as a curing agent, stabilizer, and flavoring precursor depending on the formulation context. In polymer and rubber processing, BZA acts as a crosslinking agent and curing accelerator, influencing the mechanical properties and durability of finished materials. Flavor chemists use it as a precursor in synthesizing nitrogen-containing aroma compounds. Controlled reactions yield target flavor profiles for food and beverage applications. In antioxidant formulations, BZA contributes to stabilizer packages that protect polymers from oxidative degradation during processing and end-use. It also functions as an intermediate in producing pharmaceutically relevant compounds and agrochemical actives. This makes it a sourcing target for fine chemical manufacturers running multi-step synthesis programs. Benzylamine is supplied as a liquid, typically at high purity levels suited for synthesis and formulation work. Technical grade and reagent grade are the most commonly available specifications for industrial use. Purity levels range from 98% to 99%+ depending on the intended application and specific manufacturing requirements. Packaging options generally include drums and IBC containers for bulk procurement needs. Contact us for supply of Benzylamine Request Quote
