Dibutylethanolamine Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- N,N-Dibutylethanolamine
- 2-(dibutylamino)ethanol
- DBEA
Dibutylethanolamine is a tertiary alkanolamine supplied for industrial formulation and chemical synthesis. ChemTrade handles Malaysia enquiries for technical, low-colour and higher-purity requirements, with the final grade matched to the buyer specification.
The product is a clear liquid and is commonly selected by assay, colour, water content and related-amine limits. Those controls matter when it feeds a sensitive reaction, a pale resin or a formulated additive rather than a general-purpose process stream.
Industrial uses include lubricant and fuel-additive manufacture, metalworking fluids, corrosion-inhibitor packages, coatings and polymer intermediates. It is chemically distinct from diethylethanolamine, dimethylethanolamine and the other ethanolamines already covered in the catalogue.
Send the application, required test limits, annual or trial quantity and delivery location with the enquiry. Availability, liquid packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Dibutylethanolamine grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical dibutylethanolamine | clear liquid | — | General synthesis, lubricant additive manufacture and metalworking formulations where standard commercial controls are suitable. | Drum or IBC arrangement confirmed with the quotation. |
| Low-colour dibutylethanolamine | low-colour liquid | — | Coatings, resins and colour-sensitive formulations that place tighter limits on initial colour and colour development. | Closed liquid packing is matched to the required quantity. |
| High-purity dibutylethanolamine | refined liquid | — | Qualified intermediate work where assay, water, colour and amine profile are reviewed against a customer specification. | Packing and cleanliness requirements are confirmed before quotation. |

Dibutylethanolamine applications
Common questions about dibutylethanolamine
What is dibutylethanolamine used for?
It is used as a tertiary alkanolamine intermediate in lubricant additives, metalworking fluids, coatings, resins and other specialty chemical manufacture. The useful grade depends on the reaction route and the limits placed on colour, water and assay.
Is dibutylethanolamine the same as diethylethanolamine?
No. Dibutylethanolamine carries two butyl groups, while diethylethanolamine carries two ethyl groups. They have separate product identities and should be ordered by the exact name shown on the formulation or purchasing specification.
When should a low-colour DBEA grade be requested?
Request a low-colour grade when the amine is used in a pale coating, clear resin or another system where initial colour and colour development can affect the finished material. State the required colour test or limit with the enquiry.
Which specifications matter when buying dibutylethanolamine?
Buyers commonly compare chemical identity, assay, water, colour and the profile of related amines. Send the current specification or a recent certificate for the material being replaced so the quotation can address the relevant limits.
How are packing and documents confirmed for DBEA?
Provide the quantity, receiving constraints and documents required for approval. Suitable closed liquid packing, available documentation and delivery timing are then confirmed as part of the quotation rather than assumed on the page.
