Octylamine Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 1-Octanamine
- N-Octylamine
- Caprylamine
Octylamine is a straight-chain primary C8 amine used as a chemical intermediate and formulation component. It is relevant to surfactant, corrosion-inhibitor, lubricant-additive, coating, polymer, plating and speciality synthesis routes where the n-octyl structure is required.
The page covers technical, high-purity and low-colour formulation grades. Buyers should identify amine value, purity, water, colour, odour, residue and any downstream impurity limits because octylamine may be reacted into a new intermediate or used directly in an additive package.
Octylamine is distinct from 2-ethylhexylamine, which is a branched C8 primary amine, and from octylphenol ethoxylate or lauramine products. The chain structure changes reactivity, packing behaviour and final formulation performance.
Send the synthesis or formulation route, grade, purity and amine-value requirements, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and quotation-stage commercial details are confirmed for the selected octylamine grade.

Common questions about octylamine
What is octylamine used for?
Octylamine is used in surfactant, corrosion-inhibitor, lubricant-additive, coating, polymer, plating and speciality intermediate manufacture where a straight-chain C8 primary amine is specified.
Is octylamine the same as 2-ethylhexylamine?
No. Octylamine is the straight-chain n-octyl primary amine, while 2-ethylhexylamine is a branched isomer. They should be specified separately.
Which octylamine specification should a formulator provide?
Include purity, amine value, water, colour, odour, residue, reaction route and any impurity limits imposed by the downstream product or process. For a direct-use additive, also state the base formulation and target performance.
Can octylamine be used in coatings and polymers?
It may be used as an intermediate or additive component when the resin chemistry, colour, odour, compatibility and final-performance requirements have been qualified.
What details are needed for a quotation?
State the exact n-octylamine identity, grade, application, quality limits, estimated quantity, packing preference and Malaysian delivery location.
