Full Description

Ethylamine (CAS 75-04-7) is the simplest primary ethyl amine, a volatile, strongly basic gas or aqueous solution used chiefly as a chemical intermediate. Principal outlets include the manufacture of triazine herbicides, dyes, and resins, with additional use in oil refining and as a stabilizer for rubber latex.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ethylamine used for?

Ethylamine (CAS 75-04-7) is used chiefly as a chemical intermediate — a precursor for triazine herbicides such as atrazine and simazine, a building block in dyestuff manufacture, and an intermediate for resins and corrosion inhibitors. It also serves as a stabilizing additive for rubber latex and finds use in oil refining.

Is ethylamine an acid or a base?

Ethylamine is a base. As the simplest primary ethyl amine, it is strongly basic and is supplied as a volatile gas or aqueous solution (C2H7N).

What is another name for ethylamine?

Ethylamine is also called ethanamine (its IUPAC name) and aminoethane. It is the simplest primary amine bearing an ethyl group, CAS 75-04-7.

How is ethylamine shipped, and what is its UN number?

Ethylamine ships under UN 1036. It is volatile and strongly basic, so transport, packaging, and storage follow the SDS classification. RawSource supplies it in bulk with SDS and CoA; review the SDS for full DOT and handling details.

What is the cost of bulk ethylamine?

Pricing depends on form (gas or aqueous solution), concentration, packaging, and volume. Submit a bulk RFQ with your specification and quantity for a current quote; we do not publish spot prices.
