3-Methoxypropylamine Usage And Synthesis

Appearance

Liquid

Chemical Properties

3-methoxypropylamine (MOPA) is a clear, colorless to faintly colored liquid.It typically and an ammonia like odor. It has properties typical of primary amines and is miscible with water, ethanol, toluene, acetone, hexane and other standard solvents.Methoxypropylamine can be used in making amine soaps that can be used in dispersions and emulsions of natural and synthetic waxs used in flowing, textiles, water-based paints etc. Methoxypropylamine volatilizes with water and leaves behind an insoluble wax film. Further, methoxypropylamine in dilute solutions does not have an objectionable odor.

Uses

Organic intermediate, emulsifier in anionic coatings and wax formulations.
3-Methoxypropylamine (MOPA) is a liquid C3-Aminoether. It is used mainly as a corrosion inhibitor.

Hazard

Flammable, moderate fire risk. Toxic by ingestion and inhalation.

Flammability and Explosibility

Flammable

Safety Profile

Poison by intravenous route. Irritating to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also AMINES.
