Product Description
Product Overview
Dodecyldipropylenetriamine, also known as Laurylamine Dipropylenediamine or N,N-bis(3-aminopropyl)dodecylamine, is a C12 aliphatic polyamine with two primary amino groups and one central tertiary amine. This structure distinguishes it from laurylamine and linear dipropylenetriamine.
For dodecyldipropylenetriamine, assay describes composition, while total amine value measures acid-neutralizing capacity. Water content and supply form also matter when comparing grades for a formulation.

| Synonyms | Dodecyldipropylenetriamine; N-(3-aminopropyl)-N-dodecylpropane-1,3-diamine; Laurylamine Dipropylenediamine |
| EINECS No. | 219-145-8 |
| Molecular Formula | C18H41N3 |
| Molecular Weight | 299.55 g/mol |
| Product Identity | Long-chain aliphatic polyamine |
| Grade | Industrial dodecyldipropylenetriamine; specified by assay, amine value, water content and supply form |
Physical & Chemical Properties
| Appearance | Typically a colourless to yellow liquid at room temperature; colour and low-temperature handling depend on the grade. |
| Total Amine Number | Total amine number is determined by acid-base titration. Results expressed in mg KOH/g and mg HCl/g use different unit bases and require conversion before comparison. |
| Water | Water content, expressed as mass %, helps distinguish the composition of dodecyldipropylenetriamine grades. The test method accompanies the result in the product specification. |
| Color | For dodecyldipropylenetriamine, colour is specified on a defined scale, such as Gardner. Values are comparable only when the same scale and test conditions are used. |
| Supply Form | Undiluted dodecyldipropylenetriamine, diluted solutions and acid-neutralized grades differ in composition; these differences affect dosage and price comparisons. |
| Composition Basis | For dodecyldipropylenetriamine, assay results depend on the analytical method: chromatographic area % is not automatically equivalent to mass %. Total amine value alone does not identify the individual amines present. |
| Acid Salt Status | Acid-neutralized salts differ from the free amine in composition and formulation behaviour. |
| Technical Documents | COA, TDS and SDS available from us for the supplied dodecyldipropylenetriamine grade. |
Gas chromatography (GC) can assess composition, while acid-base titration measures acid-neutralizing capacity. These results are not interchangeable. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can confirm molecular identity.
Applications
- Corrosion-inhibitor and dispersant formulations: compare this fatty triamine with octadecylamine (stearylamine) by amine functionality, working pH and handling temperature.
- Epoxy-curing systems: compare with diethylenetriamine (DETA) using amine hydrogen equivalent weight, resin compatibility and curing performance.
- Industrial microbial-control formulations, including oilfield applications: select the grade and dosage for the intended formulation and service conditions.
- Disinfectant-cleaner development: phenoxyethanol has been used with this triamine in published formulations. Compatibility, stability and finished-product efficacy require formulation testing.
- Intermediate for specialty chemical synthesis.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Is Dodecyldipropylenetriamine the same as Laurylamine Dipropylenediamine?
A: Yes. Both names are used for CAS 2372-82-9, also described as N,N-bis(3-aminopropyl)dodecylamine. It is a polyamine with three amine functions, so it is not the same as laurylamine or a simple C12 monoamine. -
Q:
Why should total amine value be compared for this material?
A: Total amine value measures acid-neutralizing capacity under the stated test conditions. Compare grades using the same method and unit basis, together with water content and assay. For epoxy formulations, it does not replace amine hydrogen equivalent weight (AHEW), which is used with epoxy equivalent weight to calculate the mixing ratio. -
Q:
Does an acid-neutralized form of Dodecyldipropylenetriamine behave like the free amine?
A: Not automatically. Acid type and neutralisation level change the supplied composition and can alter solubility, dispersion and formulation behaviour. The selected acid, molar ratio, solvent and use conditions must be evaluated together for the finished inhibitor system.
