China and the United States are the leading exporters of Triethylamine (CAS 121-44-8), collectively accounting for over 40% of global export value in 2023–2024, while India, Germany, and South Korea rank among the top importers. Triethylamine prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from pharmaceutical and agrochemical manufacturing sectors. Export volumes from China increased modestly year-on-year through 2024, while U.S. exports held steady, and Indian imports rose notably—reflecting expanding downstream industrial capacity.
Triethylamine is a colorless, volatile liquid with a strong, fishy, ammoniacal odor; it has a boiling point of 89 °C and a melting point of −119 °C. It is a tertiary aliphatic amine and a common organic base used extensively in chemical synthesis. As a catalyst and acid scavenger, it is widely employed in the production of quaternary ammonium compounds, agrochemicals (e.g., herbicides and fungicides), pharmaceuticals (including active pharmaceutical ingredient synthesis), and polymerization catalysts for polyurethanes and epoxy resins. It also serves as a curing agent in coatings and adhesives, and as an intermediate in the manufacture of dyes and surfactants.
Chemical intermediate, anti-livering agent for urea & melamine based enamels, recovery of gelled paintermediate vehicles, catalyst for polyurethane foams, flux for copper soldering.
