Product Profile
Tris-2-Ethylhexylamine (TRIS2EHA) is a high-molecular-weight tertiary amine widely used as an intermediate in dyes, coatings, specialty chemicals, surfactants, and industrial formulations. It is supplied as a clear, colorless liquid with a slight ammonia-like odor and exhibits excellent compatibility with a broad range of organic systems.
Its highly branched alkyl structure provides outstanding hydrophobic properties, low volatility, excellent formulation stability, and superior compatibility with non-polar systems. These characteristics make Tris-2-Ethylhexylamine particularly suitable for applications requiring enhanced surface activity, chemical stability, and long-term formulation performance.
