Product Profile
Product Overview
Diethylamine Hydrochloride (DEA HCl) is a high-purity amine salt produced by the reaction of diethylamine and hydrochloric acid. It is supplied as a white crystalline powder with excellent stability and strong reactivity.
Due to its hygroscopic nature and chemical activity, DEA HCl is widely used as an important intermediate in agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemical synthesis.
It is particularly significant in the production of crop protection products such as Cypermethrin and Fipronil.
