Description
Oleylamine (CG 314) is a high-volume fatty amine widely used across various industries.
Pure oleylamine is a colorless liquid, while the industrial-grade product typically ranges in color from light yellow to yellow due to the presence of impurities. These impurities primarily consist of other long-chain fatty amines with different chain lengths.

Applications
Oleylamine is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of surfactants and as an additive in emulsifiers.
Major applications include:
-
Lubricant additives
-
Mineral flotation agents
-
Waterproofing softeners for fibers
-
Dyeing auxiliaries
-
Anti-static agents
-
Pigment dispersants
-
Anti-caking agents for fertilizers
-
Anti-rust agents
Manufacturing Process
Industrial oleylamine is produced through a multi-step chemical process. Oleic acid (set link here) is typically used as the starting material and is first converted into a nitrile intermediate. This intermediate then undergoes high-pressure hydrogenation, which reduces it to the desired oleylamine.
The final product is further refined by distillation and filtration to ensure quality and consistency.
Chemical Reactions
Oleylamine is an organic primary amine with versatile reactivity.
-
It reacts with organic carboxylic acids (e.g., oleic acid) to form organic ammonium salts. These salts can be converted into the corresponding amides by the elimination of water under high temperatures or in the presence of suitable catalysts.
-
Oleylamine also forms ammonium phosphate salts with acidic phosphate esters, such as mono- and di-phosphate esters. These salts are widely used as anti-wear and anti-rust agents in the lubricant industry.
-
With inorganic acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid), oleylamine forms the corresponding ammonium salts.
-
Reaction with acyl halides (e.g., acetyl chloride) produces oleylamide derivatives, such as acetic oleylamide.
