China and Germany are the leading exporters of Octadecylamine (CAS 124-30-1), collectively accounting for over 60% of global exports in 2023–2024, while the United States, India, and South Korea represent the largest importers. Imports by India and South Korea have risen steadily since 2022, coinciding with moderate upward pressure on Octadecylamine prices amid tightening supply from key European producers.
Octadecylamine (CAS 124-30-1) is a white to off-white waxy solid at room temperature, with a mild amine odor and low volatility; it has a melting point of approximately 50–53 °C and a boiling point of around 330 °C at atmospheric pressure. It is classified as a long-chain aliphatic primary amine and an organic chemical intermediate. Industrially, octadecylamine serves primarily as a precursor in the synthesis of corrosion inhibitors, flotation agents, and cationic surfactants. Its derivatives are widely employed in metalworking fluids, agrochemical formulations (e.g., emulsifiers and adjuvants), polymer additives, and specialty coatings.
Anticorrosive agent.
It appears as white waxy crystalline solid with alkalinity. It is soluble in chloroform, soluble in alcohol, ether and benzene, slightly soluble in acetone and insoluble in water.
