Useful for cleavage of N-alkylphthalimide derivatives to give primary amines, as an alternative to methyl hydrazine. DMAPA is also used directly as a hardener in epoxy resins in the plastics industry, as a cross linking agent for cellulose fibers in the paper industry and as an anti-shriking agent for leather. It is used as an intermediate in the production of binding agents, ion-exchange materials, flocculating agents (water treatment), cosmetic agents, washing and cleaning agents (betaines), additive for petrol and other fuels, polyurethane fibers and lubricants, dyes, agrochemicals, agents used in the photographic and textile industries.
