The JEFFAMINE? Polyetheramines JEFFAMINE polytheramines are a part of an expanding family of Huntsman products. They contain primary amino groups attached to the end of a polyether backbone. The polyether backbone is normally based on either propylene oxide (PO), ethylene oxide (EO), or mixed PO/EO. Thus they are called “polyetheramines.” Historically, the JEFFAMINE polyetheramine family consisted of monoamines, diamines, and triamines based on this core structure. Recently, the addition of secondary, hindered, high-conversion, and polytetramethylene glycol (PTMEG) based polyetheramines has increased the utility of this unique product range. The JEFFAMINE polyetheramines undergo typical amine reactions, often imparting increased flexibility, toughness, low viscosity, and low color. The wide range of molecular weight, amine functionality, repeating unit type, and distribution can provide flexibility in the design of new compounds or mixtures. JEFFAMINE? MONOAMINES (M series) JEFFAMINE monoamines are designated as the JEFFAMINE M series. The letter M signifies a monoamine and the number represents the approximate molecular weight. JEFFAMINE M series products are prepared by reaction of a mono-alcohol initiator with EO and/or PO, followed by conversion of the resulting terminal hydroxyl groups to amines. M series products have the following representative structure: O H3C NH2 O x y R R= H for (EO), or CH3 for (PO) JEFFAMINE?

JEFFAMINE? DIAMINES (D, ED, and EDR series) JEFFAMINE diamines include the D, ED, and EDR series products. The D signifies a diamine, ED signifies a diamine
