What is propylamine and what is it used for?
Propylamine (n-propylamine, 1-aminopropane, CAS 107-10-8) is a reactive primary-amine building block. It is used as a chemical intermediate for agrochemicals, rubber chemicals, dyestuffs, corrosion-inhibitor chemistry, and textile and leather finishing resins.
- ▸ Agrochemicals: Intermediate for agricultural chemicals
- ▸ Rubber chemicals: Building block for rubber additives
- ▸ Dyestuffs: Amine intermediate
- ▸ Corrosion inhibitors: Intermediate for corrosion-inhibitor chemistry
- ▸ Textile & leather: Finishing-resin intermediate

Frequently Asked Questions
What is propylamine used for?
n-Propylamine (CAS 107-10-8) is a primary aliphatic amine used as a chemical intermediate and reagent in the manufacture of agricultural chemicals, rubber chemicals, dyestuffs, corrosion inhibitors, and textile and leather finishing resins.
What is an example of a propylamine, and is it n-propylamine or propanamine?
This product is n-propylamine, CH3CH2CH2NH2 (CAS 107-10-8), whose IUPAC name is propan-1-amine; "propanamine" and "propylamine" refer to the same compound. It is a representative simple primary alkylamine used as a building block.
Is propylamine an acid or a base?
Propylamine is a base. As a primary aliphatic amine the nitrogen lone pair accepts protons, so it reacts with acids to form propylammonium salts, which is central to its use as a synthesis intermediate.
What is the molecular formula and CAS number of propylamine?
The molecular formula is C3H9N and the CAS number is 107-10-8. Identity is confirmed on the CoA for each lot supplied.
What is the HS code for propylamine and how does it ship?
Propylamine is classified under HS 2921.19 and transported under UN 1277 (propylamine), a flammable liquid. Review the SDS for GHS classification and handling, and confirm packaging for your destination before shipment.
