Epoxy harderner treasure, maybe?
so, visiting some abandoned buildings i came across 10 buckets of some type of epoxy-concrete, and the harderner in plastic bottles right next to it,
5 bottles, some of them almost completely full, 0.66kg each bottle

the contents are rather exotic, amines, some of them compounds that doesnt seem to exist? the contents are:
"Piperatine" - "(Yl?)ethylamine" - "Nonylphenol,3,5,9" - "Triazaundecamethylendiamone" - UN2735 "Polyamines" - "Aminoethylpiperazine"
if i could demolish this molecule into piperazine, which is water soluble i could maybe use that somehow
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminoethylpiperazine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piperazine
im not quite sure how i would go about seperating these compounds, polyamines is quite a broad term, also includes putriscene. theres a very strong
amine smell in the bottle, so there is surely some volatile amines in it, which i could try to first off distill off, or maybe directly react with HCl
to form the corresponding salt which would then be water soluble?
i could maybe try to seperate it with heptane fraction from gasoline? any suggestions for what fun i can put this very mixed product through would be
interesting, or general ideas for what they can be used for, i have roughly 2 liters of this stuff so i wont let this go to waste.
i did try to find MSDS on it but these bottles are maybe as old as from the 80's, the bathrooms associated with the building where i found the
bottles.. there were ashtrays in the bathroom stalls.
i also managed to cash in on about 10kg calcium hypochlorite, 10L 37% H2SO4 and 12kg sodium formate
