Chemical Properties
Stability: Stable under normal temperature and pressure, but should be kept away from strong oxidants and strong acids. It has the chemical properties of tertiary amines, and can dissolve paraffin and carnauba wax when heated, but solidifies when cooled.
Acidity and Basicity: As a weak base, it can react with acids to form salts.
Other Reactions: It can react with acid anhydrides, halogen - containing hydrocarbons, etc., and can also participate in some organic synthesis reactions, such as reacting with acyl halides to form amides, and reacting with haloalkanes to form quaternary ammonium salts.
Uses
Pharmaceutical Field: Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various drugs.
Agricultural Field: Can be used to manufacture pesticides, insecticides, etc.
Surfactant: Used in the production of various surfactants, such as detergents and emulsifiers, which can reduce the surface tension of liquids and improve the dispersibility and solubility of substances.
Dye Industry: As an intermediate in dye synthesis, it helps to improve the stability and dyeing performance of dyes.
Other Aspects: It can also be used to manufacture preservatives, lubricant additives, corrosion inhibitors, vulcanization accelerators, etc.
Packaging and Storage
Packaging: Usually, there are plastic drums or iron drums with a capacity of 1kg, 25kg, and 200kg. There are also small - capacity glass bottle packages of 100ml, 5ml, and 25ml.
Storage: Should be stored in a cool and ventilated warehouse, away from fire sources and heat sources. Keep the container sealed, and store it separately from oxidants and acids, and do not store them together.
Risk Information
Risk Terms: R36/37/38 - Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin; R22 - Harmful if swallowed.
