Industrial Amine Blend (Corrosion Inhibitor & Synthesis Grade)

“The sharp, reactive bases: the powerful corrosion inhibitors for oilfields and the versatile intermediates for synthesis.” Arnico’s Industrial Amine Blend is the high-performance, volatile mixture of lower alkyl amines that serves as a powerful and cost-effective solution for the world’s most demanding industrial challenges. In the oil and gas industry, its strong neutralizing and film-forming properties make it an essential corrosion inhibitor for protecting critical infrastructure. As a chemical intermediate, its high reactivity makes it the key building block for synthesizing vital agrochemicals and rubber accelerators. It’s the sharp, reactive tool for protection and production.

1. Product Introduction & Main Application

Arnico’s Industrial Amine Blend is a clear to pale yellow liquid with a strong ammoniacal odor, obtained from the reaction of heavy alcohols with ammonia or as a by-product of certain refining processes. This mixture, which includes diethylamine, triethylamine, and isopropylamine, is used as a corrosion inhibitor in the oil and gas and water treatment industries, as an acid neutralizer, and as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of herbicides and rubber vulcanization accelerators.
