China and the United States are the leading exporters of Dodecylamine (CAS 124-22-1), collectively accounting for over half of global exports in recent years, while India, Germany, and South Korea rank among the top importers. Dodecylamine prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from agrochemical and corrosion inhibitor sectors. Export volumes from China increased modestly in 2023–2024, while U.S. exports held steady, and Indian imports rose by approximately 12% year-on-year, signaling growing regional industrial uptake.
Dodecylamine is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with a characteristic fishy or ammoniacal odor and moderate volatility; it has a melting point of approximately 23–25 °C and a boiling point of around 255–260 °C. It is a primary aliphatic amine and classified as an organic chemical intermediate. Dodecylamine serves predominantly as a precursor in the synthesis of corrosion inhibitors, flotation agents, fabric softeners, and cationic surfactants. Its main application areas include agrochemical formulations (e.g., emulsifiers and adjuvants), metalworking fluids, mining reagents, and personal care products. It is also employed in the production of quaternary ammonium compounds used in disinfectants and biocides.
