Aminat Triethylenetetramine (TETA) 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.

• 

  Chelating agents

  Polyaminocarboxylic acids and their salts derived from ethyleneamines are used in a variety of applications where specific metal ions interfere with processing, or require buffering, concentrating, separating, or transporting.

• 

  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.

• 

  Elastomeric Fibers

  Polyurethane elastomeric fiber such as Spandex® and elastane are key components in high performance sports apparel.

• 

  Fungicides

  The ethylenebisdithiocarbamates (EBDC's), which were introduced in the early 1940's, represent the most important class of general purpose, broad spectrum fungicides currently used for the control of mildew, scabs, rusts and blights.

• 

  Lube Oil and Fuel Additives

  A major use of ethyleneamines is in the manufacturing of lubricant and fuel additives. Ashless dispersants are used in engine oils to reduce sludge and varnish deposits caused by the low-speed of motor vehicles.

• 

  Mineral Processing Aids

  Amidoamines, made from fatty acids and ethyleneamines, have been used in the processing of minerals.

• 

  Plastic Lubricants

  Ethylenebis (stearamide) (EBS) is a plastic lubricant made by the reaction of one mole of EDA with two moles of stearic acid.

• 

  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.

• 

  Rubber Processing Additives

  EDA is reacted with carbon disulfide, sodium hydroxide and a divalent metal, such as manganese or zinc, to produce dithiocarbamates. Dithiocarbamates are formulated to make various vulcanizing accelerators and promoters.

• 

  Textile Additives

  Uses include applications for man-made and natural fibers and fabrics. Ethyleneamines provide improvements to the properties of dye sorption, adhesion, flame proofing, abrasion resistance, anti-static, and handle.

• 

  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.
