Diethylenetriamine (DETA) is a colourless hygroscopic liquid, soluble in water and hydrocarbons. Diethylenetriamine is an analogue of diethylene glycol. It has similar chemical behavior as ethylene diamine and has similar uses. It is a weak base and its aqueous solution is alkaline. It is used in oil industry, as a solvent for sulfur and extraction of acid gas.
Use in explosives
Due to its similarity to ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine can also be used to sensitize nitromethane, making a liquid explosive compound similar to PLX. This compound is cap sensitive with an Explosive Velocity of around 6200 m/s and is discussed in patent #3,713,915. Mixed with unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine it was used as Hydyne, a propellent for liquid-fuel rockets.
