Amivion MAA-1000 is a high molecular weight polyethyleneamine mixture supplied as a black, highly viscous liquid with an amine-like odor. The product is based on the heavier oligomeric fraction of the ethyleneamine series, comprising a complex mixture of polyethylenepolyamines with multiple reactive amine groups per molecule. Amivion MAA-1000 is miscible with water and is used across a range of industrial applications including asphalt adhesion promotion, epoxy curing, corrosion inhibitor formulation, and fuel and lubricant additive chemistry. Its high amine functionality and good film-forming characteristics on mineral and metal surfaces make it a versatile building block in specialty chemical manufacturing.
Key Features
- High Amine Functionality: Amivion MAA-1000 contains multiple primary, secondary, and tertiary amine groups within its oligomeric structure, providing high reactivity with epoxy resins, isocyanates, and acidic substrates. This multifunctionality supports the formation of dense cross-linked networks in cured systems.
- Strong Adhesion to Mineral Surfaces: The product is widely used as an adhesion promoter in asphalt formulations, where its amine groups interact with negatively charged aggregate surfaces to improve coating adhesion and moisture resistance. This property reduces stripping and extends pavement service life.
- Corrosion Inhibition Performance: Amivion MAA-1000 forms protective amine films on metal surfaces, making it suitable for use in corrosion inhibitor formulations for oil and gas pipelines, metal treatment, and fuel system protection. The film-forming behavior is effective across a range of pH conditions.
- Water Miscibility and Handling Flexibility: The product is fully miscible with water, enabling use in aqueous formulations and simplifying dilution and blending operations in industrial environments. This solubility also supports application as a waterborne process chemical.
- Versatility Across Industrial Sectors: Beyond asphalt and corrosion applications, Amivion MAA-1000 functions as an epoxy curing agent intermediate, a fuel and lubricant additive building block, and a component in paper and textile auxiliary chemicals. This multi-sector utility supports procurement consolidation across chemical manufacturing operations.
Typical Applications
Amivion MAA-1000 is primarily used as an adhesion promoter and anti-stripping agent in asphalt and bitumen formulations, where it improves the bond between bitumen and mineral aggregates in road construction and maintenance applications. It is also employed as a reactive intermediate in the production of epoxy curing agents and as a component in corrosion inhibitor formulations for oil and gas infrastructure, metal surface treatment, and industrial fluid systems.
Additional applications of Amivion MAA-1000 include fuel and lubricant additive synthesis, flotation reagents for mineral processing, and functional additives for paper and textile production. Its broad amine reactivity and surface-active character make it a useful building block in specialty chemical programs that require multi-functional amine intermediates.
