Abstract
Abstract The use of certain oxyalkyl amines as anti-caking agents for triethylenediamine (TEDA) is disclosed. The anti-caking agent comprises polyoxypropylene amines or their amides, the amines having the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is hydrogen, a methyl radical or an ethyl radical, Z is a hydrocarbon radical having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms forming from 2 to 4 external ether linkages; n is a number from 1 to about 40 and r is a number from 2 to 4.
