3-Dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- DMAPA
- Dimethylaminopropylamine
- N,N-Dimethyl-1,3-Propanediamine
- C5H14N2
DMAPA supplier enquiries in Malaysia are for 3-dimethylaminopropylamine, a liquid amine intermediate also written as dimethylaminopropylamine. Identified by CAS 109-55-7, DMAPA is a distinct raw material used to make downstream surfactants, amidoamines and other specialty derivatives.
Commercial requirements commonly separate standard technical grade from high-purity or low-colour material. Assay, water, colour and related impurity limits should be matched to the buyer's process, particularly for personal-care intermediates and colour-sensitive formulations.
Major applications include cocamidopropyl betaine and other amphoteric surfactants, conditioning amidoamines, quaternary ammonium compounds, corrosion inhibitors and selected epoxy or coating ingredients. DMAPA is an intermediate, not another name for any of these finished downstream products.
Send the required grade or specification, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. A 165 kg pack is a known option, while availability, exact pack format, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

DMAPA grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical grade DMAPA | clear colourless to pale yellow liquid | Confirmed against the required industrial specification. | Intermediate for amphoteric surfactants, amidoamines, corrosion inhibitors and other industrial derivatives made from 3-dimethylaminopropylamine. | A 165 kg pack is a known option; format and availability are confirmed with the quotation. |
| High-purity or low-colour DMAPA | clear low-colour liquid | Purity, water and colour limits confirmed against the buyer's specification. | Personal-care intermediates, specialty surfactants, epoxy systems and formulations where colour or residual impurity limits are more tightly controlled than for standard technical grade. | Packing is confirmed against the required grade and quantity. |

Safety and handling
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from acids, oxidisers and incompatible materials. Prevent moisture ingress and follow the safety data for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about DMAPA
What does DMAPA stand for?
DMAPA is the common abbreviation for 3-dimethylaminopropylamine, CAS 109-55-7. Dimethylaminopropylamine and N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine are names for the same chemical identity.
Is DMAPA the same as cocamidopropyl betaine?
No. DMAPA is an amine intermediate used to manufacture cocamidopropyl betaine and related amidoamines. CAPB is a downstream surfactant product, so the two should not be substituted or ordered under the same specification.
Which DMAPA grade should I request?
Technical grade suits many industrial derivative and process-chemical applications. Personal-care intermediates and colour-sensitive systems may require tighter assay, water, colour or impurity limits. Send the current raw-material specification with the enquiry.
What is DMAPA used for?
It is used to make amphoteric surfactants, amidoamines, quaternary ammonium compounds, corrosion inhibitors and selected epoxy-related products. The end use determines which purity and colour controls matter.
Can a 165 kg pack be requested for DMAPA?
A 165 kg pack is a known commercial option. State the required quantity and preferred format, and available packing, documentation and delivery details will be confirmed with the quotation.
