Description
N,N-Dimethyloctylamine (CAS 7378-99-6) is a tertiary aliphatic amine supplied as a liquid under trade names including Farmin DM 08P and C8 ADMA Amine. It carries no assigned E-code. The compound is also referenced as octyldimethylamine or dimethyloctylamine across technical and procurement documentation.
In water treatment, it functions as a pH buffer and precursor to quaternary ammonium biocides, where its C8 chain length governs membrane-disruption activity against microorganisms. In personal care and industrial cleaning formulations, it acts as an emulsifier and degreasing agent by reducing interfacial tension between oil and aqueous phases.
This product is available in standard industrial liquid grades and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the European Economic Area. Procurement teams should confirm SDS compliance and packaging format directly with the supplier, as container sizes typically range from drums to IBC totes.
