Aminoethylpiperazine (AEP):
Mixture of: CAS #000140-31-8, 1-piperazineethaneamine.Aminat
Aminoethylpiperazine (AEP) can be used in applications including:
-
Bleach Activators
Since the 1970s, tetra-acetylethylenediamine (TAED) has been widely adopted in
Europe for use in powdered detergent compositions as an activator for peroxygen
bleaching agents.
-
Mineral Processing Aids
Amidoamines, made from fatty acids and ethyleneamines, have been used in the processing of minerals.
-
Polyamide Resins
Thermoplastic polyamide resins made from dimer acid and ethylenediamine are used as hot-melt
adhesives and as binders for flexographic or rotogravure printing inks.
-
Urethane Chemicals
Ethyleneamines are used in the manufacture of polyols and also in the production of catalysts to react
polyols with isocyanates. The main applications of these polyols are in urethane systems for appliances,
spray foams, building panels and elastomers.
-
Fabric Softeners
Fabric softeners are used to impart softness and antistatic properties to machine washed laundry.
These products can be introduced as part of the detergent package, added in the washing machine rinse cycle,
or added in the clothes dryer.
-
Corrosion Inhibitors
Amidoamines and substituted imidazolines, prepared by the reaction of DETA or
TETA with fatty acids, find use as corrosion inhibitors in petroleum production
operations.
-
Epoxy Curing Agents
Ethyleneamines are widely used for curing (cross-linking) epoxy resins both as the pure amine or,
more often, as a derivative that contains primary and secondary amines which can react with the epoxy
resin functionality.
