General description

Triethylenetetramine is used as a chelating agent and as a curing agent for epoxy resins.

Application


  • Triethylenetetramine in surface passivation: Research on the photooxidation inhibition of pyrite highlights the role of DTC-TETA (dithiocarbamate-triethylenetetramine) in modifying photogenerated carrier migration pathways, indicating its potential in environmental chemistry and surface science (Shu et al., 2024).

  • Poly(urethane-urea) microcapsules crosslinked by triethylenetetramine: An investigation into poly(urethane-urea) microcapsules revealed that triethylenetetramine as a crosslinker can modulate the release of pesticides, providing insights into controlled release systems in agricultural sciences (Wang et al., 2024).

Features and Benefits

Triethylenetetramine is room or low temperature curing agent.
