Description
A colorless liquid with a ammoniacal odor. Ethylenediamine is strongly alkaline and will absorb Carbon dioxide from the air forming a nonvolatile carbonate. Ethylenediamine is used in developing baths for color photographs. It is also used as a solvent for Casein, Albumin, Shellac, and Sulfur. Other applications include use as a textile lubricant and rubber stabilizer.
