Diethylenetriamine is used as a solvent for plastics, dyes and in chemical synthesis. It serves as a curing agent for epoxy-resins. As a tridentate ligand, it form complexes such as Co(dien)(NO₂)₃ in coordination chemistry. It is also used as a fuel additive. It reacts with fatty acid resulting in the formation of amidoamines, which are used as corrosion inhibitors in the petroleum industry. It is associated with unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine to prepare hydyne, which is a propellant for liquid-fuel rockets.
