Germany, the United States, and China are the leading exporters of tallow amine (CAS 61790-33-8), collectively accounting for over 60% of global export value in 2023–2024; major importers include India, Brazil, and South Korea, with India representing the largest single import market. Imports by India and Brazil have grown steadily since 2022, coinciding with moderate upward pressure on tallow amine prices amid tightening supply from European producers.
Tallow amine is a pale yellow to amber viscous liquid at room temperature, with a characteristic fatty odor and low volatility; its melting point typically ranges from 15–30 °C and boiling point exceeds 200 °C under reduced pressure. It is classified as a primary aliphatic amine, derived from the hydrogenation of tallow fatty acids (predominantly C16–C18 chains). As a versatile intermediate, tallow amine is widely used in the synthesis of cationic surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and fabric softeners. Its primary application areas include agrochemical formulations (e.g., emulsifiers and adjuvants), personal care products (e.g., conditioning agents), and industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids.
