Polyamine (polyethylenepolyamine) is a blend of higher ethyleneamines used as a cost-effective ambient-cure epoxy hardener for construction and general-purpose systems. Identity: CAS 68131-73-7.
What it is
Polyethylenepolyamine (CAS 68131-73-7) is a liquid mixture of higher ethyleneamines (TETA, TEPA and above). It is an economical, high-functionality hardener widely used where appearance is secondary to performance and cost.
How it cures
Its many amine hydrogens ring-open epoxide groups for a dense ambient cure with high crosslink density and chemical resistance; the higher-MW mix gives lower volatility than single small amines.
Applications
Polyamine is used in construction epoxy (flooring, grouts, adhesives), coatings and general-purpose systems. For low color and flexibility compare polyetheramines.
Forms, grades and handling
Polyamine is supplied as an amber liquid in drums, IBCs and bulk. Properties are typical reference values; the Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for the lot you buy governs. Amine curing agents are typically corrosive and can sensitize skin — handle per the current Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Each lot ships with CoA, TDS and SDS.
Bulk supply and RFQ
RawSource sources Polyamine direct from producers in bulk, with CoA, TDS and SDS per lot. Tell us your resin system, cure schedule (ambient or heat) and the properties you need (pot life, Tg, flexibility, chemical resistance), and we will quote the right hardener. See selection logic in the epoxy curing agents guide.
