The JEFFAMINE® THF polyetheramines products are diamines or triamines based on either a PTMEG [poly(tetramethylene ether glycol)] / PPG (polypropylene glycol) copolymer, or a predominantly PTMEG backbone. Polyetheramines of this type are useful in a variety of polymers, including cured epoxy resins, polyurea, and polyamides. Higher molecular weight polyetheramines are effective in flexibilizing and promoting adhesive peel strength in epoxy formulations. They have also been used to improve flexibility and low temperature properties for polyamides.
As with most other JEFFAMINE® polyetheramines, the amine groups in the THF-100 amine are adjacent to methyl groups, which somewhat moderates their reactivity.
Benefits
• Used in polyurethanes, polyureas, and nylons
