The Alkylamines and Derivatives Sector Group (AASG)
Uses and properties
Alkylamines are chemical intermediates. AASG provides support to a series of alkylamines as well as to first-degree derivatives and some aminoalcohols.
End-uses of derivatives of the alkylamines cover a great variety of applications. Major ones include detergents, agrochemicals, feed additives, pharmaceuticals, solvents, pulp & paper processing, flocculants, PU catalysts, explosives, etc. Alkylamines are colourless highly flammable gases, making careful handling essential at all stages of their production, transport and use.
Issues and regulations

Specific issues
- To promote the use of alkylamines and their first-line derivatives with scientifically sound arguments, taking into full consideration their health and environment aspects
