3-(Dimethylamino)propylamine (DMAPA) (CAS NO : 109-55-7)

DMAPA is a high-reactivity diamine containing both a primary and a tertiary amine group. Within the Industrial Chemicals, Beauty & Personal Care, and Water Treatment hierarchies, it is a critical "intermediate of scale." Dimethylaminopropylamine's asymmetric structure makes it the essential building block for producing "tear-free" surfactants (like Betaines) and specialized water-soluble polymers. Source High-Purity N,N-Dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (CAS 109-55-7) from Scimplify, a leading global manufacturer and wholesale supplier of specialty diamines. DMAPA is a high-performance surfactant intermediate and epoxy catalyst engineered for the personal care and industrial resin sectors. Our bulk DMAPA is the primary raw material for producing Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB), the industry standard for mild, high-foam surfactants in shampoos and liquid soaps. As an authoritative speciality amine supplier, we provide DMAPA that functions as a high-efficiency polyurethane catalyst and a key component in water treatment flocculants. Whether you are formulating high-clarity epoxy systems or advanced cationic paper chemicals, Scimplify ensures global regulatory compliance, providing low-impurity material, COA/SDS transparency, and reliable bulk lead times

Chemical Properties & Specifications

Applications of 3-(Dimethylamino)propylamine (DMAPA)

Beauty & Personal Care: Betaine Synthesis

Synthesis of amphoteric surfactants, specifically Betaines. By reacting DMAPA with fatty acids, manufacturers produce surfactants that provide excellent foam stability and are exceptionally gentle on the skin and eyes

Specialty Chemicals: Epoxy Curing & PU Catalysts

Hardener and accelerator in epoxy resin systems. Tertiary amine group provides rapid catalytic activity, while the primary amine integrates into the polymer matrix. Catalyst in the production of Polyurethane (PU) foams, particularly for automotive interiors

Water Treatment & Paper: Cationic Polymers

Specialized cationic monomers used in water treatment as flocculants and in paper manufacturing as retention aids. These polymers effectively neutralize negatively charged particles, clarifying water and improving paper strength

Have Questions About 3-(Dimethylamino)propylamine (DMAPA)?
We've Got Answers.

For the Beauty and Personal Care industry, residual DMAPA in the final surfactant can be a sensitizer. We provide a high-purity grade with ≥ 99.8% assay, allowing you to achieve the strict "Low Free DMAPA" (<10 ppm) requirements in your final Betaine formulations.

DMAPA has a flash point of 32°C (90°F). We ship according to strict IMO/IATA regulations for Class 8(3) materials. Our drums are UN-certified and pressure-tested, and we offer temperature-controlled shipping for regions where ambient temperatures exceed the flash point.

While it can cure epoxy, it is more commonly used as a co-curing agent or accelerator. Its tertiary amine structure provides a very high reactivity, making it ideal for fast-setting adhesives or as a promoter for larger amine hardener systems.

Like many amines, DMAPA can cause slight yellowing if exposed to air. Our manufacturing process minimizes trace metal impurities and moisture, which are the primary drivers of discoloration, ensuring your resins maintain high optical clarity.
