Main Applications:
MOPA is primarily used for the synthesis of dyes, especially for the synthesis of Disperse Turquoise S-GL, also known as Disperse Blue 60#. MOPA can be utilized in the preparation of dispersions and emulsions for certain synthetic and natural resins and waxes. These resins and waxes find applications in areas such as flooring finishes, fabric finishes, water-based coatings, and similar applications. MOPA can be employed in the production of water-insensitive waxes. Additionally, the diluted solution of Setheramine MOPA has no unpleasant odor. In some cases, it can serve as an alternative to morpholine. MOPA is used in the synthesis of antistatic agents and surfactants. It is also a high-grade organic solvent.
