Octylamine

Octylamine (CAS 111-86-4) is a primary aliphatic amine used in specialty chemical manufacturing as a building block, curing agent, and pH modifier. Also known as 1-aminooctane.

Where is Octylamine used?

• Polymer and resin manufacturing: curing agent and cross-linker for epoxy systems, influencing cure rate and film properties
• Coatings and adhesives
• Personal care: intermediate in the synthesis of conditioning agents, emulsifiers, and surfactant derivatives for hair and skin products
• Flavor and fragrance: synthetic intermediate for nitrogen-containing aroma compounds
• Specialty formulations: pH-adjusting agent where a long-chain amine is preferred over shorter-chain alternatives
• It serves as a building block in specialty chemical manufacturing.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm purity specification and amine content with the supplier when sourcing for sensitive formulation use. High-purity grades are available for flavor, fragrance, and specialty chemical synthesis applications.
