Dibutylethanolamine CAS 102-81-8

Dibutylethanolamine CAS 102-81-8 for Organic Synthesis and Specialty Chemical Applications

Dibutylethanolamine is a tertiary amino alcohol containing a dibutylamino group and a hydroxyethyl group. Its tertiary amine and hydroxyl functionality make it useful in organic synthesis, fine chemical preparation and selected industrial formulation routes where alkanolamine structure is required.

This product may be used as an organic synthesis intermediate, specialty chemical intermediate, neutralizing agent, catalyst-related component or formulation additive depending on the target process and specification. In B2B sourcing, buyers usually need to confirm assay, water content, appearance, color, odor, related amine impurities, residual solvents, packaging, transport classification and documentation availability before purchase.

Chemical Structure

Key Applications

• Organic synthesis intermediate: Used as a tertiary alkanolamine building block where dibutylamino and hydroxyethyl functionality are required in downstream synthesis.

• Fine chemical intermediate: May be evaluated in specialty chemical routes requiring tertiary amine structure, hydroxyl functionality, polarity adjustment or further derivatization.

• Industrial formulation component: Can be considered in selected coating, ink, resin, lubricant, metalworking or related formulation systems depending on technical requirements and compatibility testing.

• Neutralizing agent or amine additive: The tertiary amine structure may be useful in routes or formulations requiring basicity, salt formation or pH adjustment behavior.

• R&D and process evaluation: Can support laboratory evaluation, route screening and process development for organic synthesis or specialty formulation projects.

• Further derivatization: The hydroxyl group and tertiary amine functionality may be involved in esterification, etherification, salt formation or other downstream transformations depending on the synthesis route.

Sourcing and Documentation Support

• Specification confirmation: Assay, appearance, color, water content, related amine impurities, residual solvents and odor profile can be reviewed according to buyer requirements and supplier confirmation.

• COA and SDS support: COA and SDS may be provided for confirmed products, subject to product, batch and supplier confirmation.

• Packaging review: Packaging options can be checked according to product properties, order quantity, odor, hazard classification, storage requirements and shipment route.

• Export and logistics discussion: Shipment feasibility, dangerous goods classification, trade term and destination requirements should be confirmed case by case before quotation or shipment.

Packaging and Logistics Considerations

Dibutylethanolamine is commonly handled as a liquid amine material. Suitable packaging should be confirmed according to product properties, odor, hazard classification, order quantity, storage conditions, supplier specification and transport route.

Packaging may include small bottles, small drums, 25 L drums, 200 L drums or other suitable formats, subject to supplier confirmation. For tertiary amine alcohol products, packaging tightness, odor control, corrosion resistance and handling conditions should be reviewed before shipment.

Sea, air, courier, LCL or FCL shipment feasibility should be evaluated case by case according to the latest SDS, transport classification, package size and destination requirements. Import clearance, local duties, taxes and destination compliance should be confirmed by the buyer or their appointed import agent.

Common trade terms may include FOB China port, FCA warehouse, CFR/CIF destination port or DAP destination where applicable. Final shipment arrangement depends on product classification, order quantity, destination and buyer import capability.

Safety and Storage Information

The following safety information is for general reference only. Final hazard classification, handling requirements, storage conditions, UN number, packing group and transport conditions must be confirmed according to the latest SDS, dangerous goods classification report and shipment documents.

• General hazard profile: Dibutylethanolamine may present harmful, corrosive and environmental hazard characteristics. Handle only with appropriate personal protective equipment and engineering controls.

• Storage: Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Keep away from strong acids, oxidizing agents, heat sources and incompatible materials.

• Transport confirmation: UN number, hazard class, packing group, labels and shipping documents should be verified before shipment according to the latest SDS and DGM.

• Handling: Avoid direct contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Use suitable gloves, eye protection and ventilation during handling.

Related Applications

Dibutylethanolamine belongs to the tertiary amino alcohols and hindered amine bases segment because of its tertiary amine and amino alcohol structure. It is also related to ethanolamine and amino alcohol derivatives where hydroxy-functional amine intermediates are required.
