Monomethylamine (MMA) | 40% Aqueous Solution | CAS 74-89-5
Overview
Monomethylamine (MMA) is a versatile, highly reactive aliphatic amine. Commercially supplied as a stable 40% aqueous solution, it appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a strong, pungent ammonia-like odor. As a foundational organic building block, it bridges traditional heavy chemical synthesis with advanced energy materials, serving as an irreplaceable precursor for agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and critical battery solvents.

Monomethylamine (40% Solution) | MMA
Product Overview
Monomethylamine (MMA) is a versatile, highly reactive aliphatic amine. Commercially supplied as a stable 40% aqueous solution, it appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a strong ammonia-like odor. As a foundational organic building block, it bridges traditional heavy chemical synthesis with advanced energy materials, serving as an irreplaceable precursor for agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and critical battery solvents.
At Shandong Yinglang Chemical Co., Ltd., established in 2016, we supply massive volumes of Premium Monomethylamine (40% Solution) to global chemical synthesis plants. Operating rigorously under Class 3 / 8 Dangerous Goods protocols, we ensure our MMA is manufactured with tightly controlled secondary and tertiary amine impurities, guaranteeing precise stoichiometric reactivity.
Technical Specifications (COA)
For high-yield synthesis, cross-contamination from DMA and TMA must be strictly minimized. Typical specifications for our 40% Industrial Grade:
| Monomethylamine (MMA) | 40.0% - 41.0% |
|---|---|
| Ammonia (NH3) | ≤ 0.2% |
| Dimethylamine (DMA) | ≤ 0.4% |
| Trimethylamine (TMA) | ≤ 0.1% |
| Color (APHA) | ≤ 15 |
Key Applications
- NMP Solvent Synthesis (Lithium Batteries): The absolute core raw material reacted with GBL to produce N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), the most critical cathode binder solvent for Li-ion batteries.
- Agrochemicals: A primary building block for synthesizing top-selling systemic insecticides and herbicides.
- Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Utilized in the synthesis of various Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs).
- Surfactants & Water Treatment: Reacted to form specialized cationic surfactants and flocculants.
🔋 The Missing Link for Lithium Battery Gigafactories
As global EV manufacturing scales, the demand for high-purity NMP solvent has skyrocketed. Our Monomethylamine 40% solution is specifically optimized for NMP synthesis. By strictly limiting Dimethylamine (DMA) and Ammonia impurities, we help NMP producers eliminate unwanted side-reactions, ensuring the final battery solvent achieves the stringent electronic-grade purity required for premium cathode coating.
Bulk Liquid DG Packaging Options
Because MMA 40% solution is highly flammable and corrosive, we utilize robust packaging for ocean transit:
- ISO TANKS (20 MT) (Recommended for NMP plants and massive bulk liquid procurement).
- 200 KG Heavy-duty Steel Drums or composite PE Drums.
⚠️ Safety & Transport Information (Class 3 / 8 DG)
- Transport Classification: Classified as Class 3 (Flammable) with Subsidiary Risk 8 (Corrosive).
- UN Number: UN 1235 | Packing Group: II
- Handling Precautions: DANGER. Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Causes severe skin burns and eye damage. Operators MUST wear full chemical suits and SCBA. Handle in explosion-proof closed systems. Store away from heat and strong oxidizers.

FAQ
Q1: What documents and certifications do you provide?
A Standard shipment includes COA (Certificate of Analysis) and MSDS (SDS). We also provide ISO 9001 certification and support third-party inspections like SGS or BV upon request.
Q2: Do you provide custom synthesis or formulation services?
A Yes. If you have specific purity requirements or a unique formulation, our R&D team can provide custom synthesis and adjust the stabilizers/inhibitors to meet your technical specifications.
Q3: What are your terms of payment?
A
For Orders ≤ $1,000: 100% in advance.
For Orders > $1,000: 30% T/T in advance, and the balance before shipment or against the copy of B/L. Irrevocable L/C at sight is also acceptable for bulk orders.
Q4: How long is your price valid?
A Chemical prices fluctuate due to the changes in raw material costs and exchange rates. Please contact our sales team for the latest real-time quotation.
Q5: What packaging and shipping ports are available?
A
We normally ship from Qingdao, Shanghai, or Ningbo.
Standard packaging includes 200kg Drums or 1000kg IBC Totes. We ensure strict safety compliance for both general and hazardous chemical cargoes.
Q6: It's my first time importing chemicals — can you help?
A Absolutely. Importing chemicals requires specific documentation. Our experienced logistics team will assist you with the entire process, including handling customs clearance documents and arranging the most suitable shipping method.
