Description

3-(Octyloxy)Propylamine is a versatile primary amine functionalized with an octyloxy chain, offering a unique combination of lipophilicity and reactivity. This structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and specialty polymers. It is particularly sought after by formulators and researchers in the agrochemical, coatings, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to modify surface properties or introduce long-chain functionality into target molecules.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier Intermediate: Acts as a key building block for synthesizing cationic and amphoteric surfactants used in personal care, industrial cleaners, and agrochemical formulations.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Precursor: Used to manufacture film-forming amine-based inhibitors that protect metal surfaces in cooling water systems, fuel additives, and oilfield applications.
• Polymer Modification Agent: Serves as a monomer or chain extender in polyurethane, epoxy, and polyamide resins to impart flexibility, hydrophobicity, or improved adhesion.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates: Employed in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and crop protection agents where its long alkyl chain aids in bioavailability or membrane penetration.
• Lubricant Additive Synthesis: Functionalized to create additives that improve lubricity, reduce friction, and provide anti-wear properties in industrial and automotive lubricants.
• Gas Treating Agent: Utilized in formulations for acid gas (CO₂, H₂S) scrubbing processes in natural gas purification and refining operations.

Quality Control

Our 3-(Octyloxy)Propylamine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and degradation.
