TOMAMINE® PA-1816

TOMAMINE® PA-1816 synthetic ether amines are produced by the reaction of an aliphatic alcohol with acrylonitrile. These unique primary ether amines can be used as additives or building blocks for many other surfactants with broad applications. Ether amines have excellent low temperature liquidity.
Evonik produces primary amines with the following basic structure: R-O-CH2CH2CH2NH2
TOMAMINE® PA-1816 synthetic ether diamines are produced by the reaction of an aliphatic alcohol with two moles of acrylonitrile. Like the TOMAMINE® PA-1816, these unique ether diamines can be used as additives or building blocks for many other surfactants with broad applications use and have excellent low temperature liquidity.
