Triethylenetetramine (TETA) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- TETA
- 2,2'-(ethylenediamino)diethylamine
- 1,4,7,10-Tetraazadecane
- Ethyleneamine E-3
Triethylenetetramine is a polyamine raw material for epoxy, resin, additive and chemical manufacturing buyers in Malaysia. It is commonly ordered as TETA or ethyleneamine E-3 and is distinct from diethylenetriamine, tetraethylenepentamine and other ethyleneamines.
The commercial page covers technical TETA, epoxy-curing grade, higher-purity material and the E-3 designation. It is normally a clear to pale yellow viscous liquid, with assay, amine value, colour, water, viscosity and related-amine controls selected to suit the formulation or synthesis route.
TETA is used as an epoxy curing agent in coatings, adhesives, flooring and composites, and as an intermediate for polyamide and polyamidoamine resins, chelating agents, corrosion inhibitors, paper chemistry and selected fuel or lubricant additives. The downstream application should be named because an epoxy grade and a synthesis grade can have different acceptance criteria.

TETA 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 triethylenetetramine | clear to pale yellow viscous liquid | TETA content, amine value, colour and related ethyleneamine limits confirmed against the quoted grade | Industrial polyamine intermediate and general chemical manufacturing where a technical TETA specification is acceptable. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Epoxy-curing grade TETA | clear to pale yellow viscous liquid | amine value, colour, water and viscosity controls confirmed against the epoxy formulation requirement | Curing agent and hardener systems for epoxy coatings, adhesives, flooring, composites and related protective formulations. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Higher-purity triethylenetetramine | clear viscous liquid | TETA assay and trace impurity profile confirmed against the synthesis or laboratory requirement | Chemical synthesis, controlled intermediate manufacture and research work where a tighter polyamine specification is required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Ethyleneamine E-3 grade | viscous liquid ethyleneamine grade | composition and related ethyleneamine content confirmed against the quoted specification | Industrial formulations that specify the E-3 ethyleneamine designation and need the composition basis stated before quotation. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place and protect the amine from contamination and incompatible materials. Follow the safety information for the quoted grade during handling.
Common questions about TETA
What is TETA chemical?
TETA is the established abbreviation for triethylenetetramine, a polyamine with formula C6H18N4 and CAS 112-24-3. It is normally requested as a clear to pale yellow viscous liquid for epoxy curing and chemical intermediate applications.
Is triethylenetetramine the same as DETA or TEPA?
No. Diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine and tetraethylenepentamine are separate ethyleneamines with different compositions and uses. Name TETA or the required CAS and state the grade, because one amine should not be substituted for another by family resemblance alone.
Which TETA grade is used for epoxy curing?
Epoxy-curing grade TETA is selected by the resin system and the required amine value, colour, water and viscosity controls. State the epoxy type, intended cure conditions and target specification so the quoted grade can be matched to the formulation.
What specifications should accompany a TETA enquiry?
Include the TETA assay, amine value, colour, water, viscosity and any limits for related ethyleneamines or trace impurities. Add the application, quantity and delivery location, and attach the buyer specification when the material must match an existing hardener or intermediate.
Is commercial TETA always a single pure component?
The product identity is triethylenetetramine, but technical material can be selected by its assay and related-ethyleneamine profile. Buyers with a tighter synthesis or formulation requirement should state the composition and impurity limits rather than relying on the family name alone.
What details are needed for a triethylenetetramine price enquiry?
Provide the TETA or E-3 grade, specification, intended use, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and document requirements so availability, commercial terms and quotation validity can be confirmed.
