Triethylenetetramine Curing Agent

CTech-LLC^® Triethylenetetramine Curing Agent TCA™ is a moderately viscous, yellowish liquid, less volatile than diethylenetriamine, but resembles it in many other properties. It is soluble in water. CTech-LLC^® Triethylenetetramine Curing Agent TCA™ is primarily used as a hardener in epoxy resins. Other uses include detergents and softening agents, synthesis of dyestuffs, pharmaceuticals, and rubber accelerators. CTech-LLC^® Triethylenetetramine Curing Agent TCA™ is a colorless to light-yellow liquid containing linear, branched and cyclic molecules. TETA is mainly used in the manufacture of fuel oil additives, lubricating oil additives and epoxy curing agents. It is also used in the production of asphalt additives.
