Abstract
Abstract Scoopability of triethylene diamine (TEDA) is improved by admixture therewith of a minor quantity (about 0.5 up to 2% by weight) of an additive in liquid form. The types of additives described are liquid glycol compounds selected from among polyethylene glycols, glycol esters, glycol ethers and amino alcohols. Preferred additives are: Carbowax polyethylene glycols having the general formula HOCH.sub.2 (CH.sub.2 OCH.sub.2).sub.x CH.sub.2 OH wherein x is about 3 to about 13, glycol diacetate and triethylene glycol diacetate.
