Chemical Properties
Light Yellow Solid
General Description
Viscous yellow liquid.
Reactivity Profile
HEXAHYDRO-1,3,5-TRIS(HYDROXYETHYL)-5-TRIAZINE(4719-04-4) is an amine and an alcohol. Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble.
Fire Hazard
This chemical is probably combustible.
Description
Grotan BK is a triazine derivative contained in cutting
fluids. It is a formaldehyde releaser.
Uses
Hexahydro-l,3,5-tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)triazin is used in organic synthesis; as a bactericide in cooling fluids and various cosmetic products; formaldehyde liberator.
Flammability and Explosibility
Notclassified
Synthesis
General procedure for the synthesis of hydroxyethyl hexahydrohomotriazine from formaldehyde and 2-aminoethanol: To 6.1 g (0.1 mol) of 2-aminoethanol was added 3.0 g (0.1 mol as formaldehyde) of a 20 mL methanol solution of paraformaldehyde, and the mixture was stirred for 48 h at room temperature. Upon completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed by rotary evaporator and the residue was distilled under reduced pressure to give 6.3 g (86% yield) of light yellow viscous liquid. The physicochemical properties of the obtained compound (I) were in accordance with the data reported in literature [9].
Toxics Screening Level
The initial threshold screening level (ITSL) for 1,3,5-triazine-1,3,5(2H,4H,6H)-triethanol (CAS
# 4719-04-4) is 0.015 μg/m3 with an annual averaging time.
