Frequently Asked Questions

What is this short-chain polyether diamine used for?

This product is a short-chain, fast-reacting amine-terminated polyether diamine, used as a reactive chain extender and curing agent. It serves as a cure-speed modifier in polyurea systems and a fast-curing amine in epoxy formulations.

How does this diamine differ from triethylene glycol diamine?

Both are compact, ether-linked, fast-reacting diamines, but this product is a higher homolog with a longer backbone and higher molecular weight than triethylene glycol diamine (CAS 929-59-9). The longer chain gives slightly more flexibility while retaining rapid reactivity.

Where can I buy this short-chain polyether diamine in bulk?

RawSource is an industrial chemical sourcing partner that supplies this product to manufacturers in drums, IBC totes and bulk volumes. Submit a bulk quote request with your target quantity and ship-to location for current availability and pricing.

What is the identity of this product?

This product is a short-chain amine-terminated polyether diamine; like other grades it is specified by grade and average molecular weight, with definitive identity on the supplied lot's CoA and SDS. Request these documents with your quote.

What is the cost of this short-chain polyether diamine in bulk?

Pricing depends on volume, packaging and freight and is quoted per order rather than published. Provide your required quantity, packaging and destination for a current bulk quote.

What is the REACH and TSCA regulatory status of Short-Chain Polyether Diamine?

Short-Chain Polyether Diamine (CAS 2997-01-5) is subject to U.S. TSCA Inventory requirements; supplying it into the EU requires valid REACH registration ((EC) No 1907/2006). RawSource cannot verify a third-party supplier's registrations — buyers should require documented TSCA and REACH compliance for their jurisdiction and volume (EC 221-067-4).
