North Metal & Chemical Methoxypropylamine (MOPA)
North Metal & Chemical Methoxypropylamine (MOPA) is a clear, colorless, liquid, that is completely soluble in water, alcohols, ethers, acetone, etc. It is mainly used in the manufacture of disperse blue 60 and other dyes. When prepared as an amine soap, MOPA makes a good dispersion and emulsion of resins and waxes such as those used in water -based paint, as well as floor and textile finishes. It is also used in the anti-corrosion of petroleum, and as a detergent. MOPA compares favorably to Morpholine in water-insensitive waxes.
