Description

Dibenzylamine (CAS 103-49-1 ), commonly abbreviated as DBA, is a secondary amine used as a chemical intermediate and functional additive across polymer, coatings, and specialty chemical manufacturing. It acts as a building block for synthesizing more complex amine derivatives, a curing agent, and a catalyst component in industrial processes. In rubber and elastomer production, it functions as a vulcanization accelerator. This compound acts as a cross-linking agent, contributing to improved durability in finished compounds. Coatings and adhesive formulators use it as a curing component in epoxy and polyurethane systems where controlled reactivity is required. In flavor and fragrance applications, it serves as a synthetic intermediate for producing aroma compounds targeting specific scent profiles. Catalyst manufacturers also use it as a precursor or co-catalyst in polymerization reactions. This is particularly useful where secondary amine functionality drives selectivity. The product is supplied as a liquid at ambient conditions, typically in drum and IBC packaging for industrial volumes. Standard commercial grades include technical-grade material with purity specifications commonly ranging from 98% to 99%+. Reagent-grade material is available for applications requiring tighter impurity control. These high-purity options are ideal for catalyst synthesis or high-specification fragrance intermediates. The material is handled according to standard industrial safety protocols for secondary amines to ensure quality. Contact us for supply of Dibenzylamine Request Quote
