An etheramine mixture comprising at least 90% by weight, based on the total weight of the etheramine mixture, of an amine of Formula (I) and/or (II), wherein R 1 -R 12 are independently selected from H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, or arylalkyl, wherein at least one of R 1 -R 6 and at least one of R 7 -R 12 is different from H, wherein A 1 -A 9 are independently selected from linear or branched alkanediyl groups having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, preferably 2-10 carbon atoms, most preferably 2-5 carbon atoms, wherein Z 1 Z 4 are independently selected from -OH and linear -OCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 NH 2 , wherein the degree of amination of each of the etheramines of Formula (I) and Formula (II) is equal to or greater than 50 %, and wherein the sum of x+y is in the range of from 2 to 200, wherein x≥1 1 and y≥1; and x1 + y1 is in the range of from 2 to 200, preferably 2-20, most preferaby 2-10, wherein x ≥1 and y ≥1. |
