Diisopropylamine is an important basic chemical raw material, and the market supply and demand are basically balanced.

Diisopropylamine, commonly known as diisopropylamine dichloroacetate, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H15N. It appears as a colorless and transparent liquid. It is toxic and smells of ammonia. It is flammable and volatile. It is slightly soluble in water. It is used in most organic solvents and is an important basic chemical raw material.

Currently, diisopropylamine in China is mainly produced by two methods: acetone catalytic hydrogenation and isopropyl alcohol catalytic hydrogenation. The acetone catalytic hydrogenation amination method refers to a method that uses acetone as raw material and produces diisopropylamine through gasification, mixing with ammonia and hydrogen, reaction with a catalyst, distillation, fractionation, etc.; the isopropyl alcohol catalytic hydrogenation amination method refers to the method using acetone as a raw material. Isopropyl alcohol, ammonia, and hydrogen are used as raw materials, and diisopropylamine is generated through mixing, catalyst catalysis, extraction, separation, dehydration, distillation and separation.

Diisopropylamine is an important chemical raw material that can be widely used in chemical industry, medicine, dyes, pesticides, rubber, daily chemicals and other fields. Specifically, in the field of pesticides, diisopropylamine can be used in the production scenarios of the herbicide aphrodisiac and the insecticide imidacloprid; in the pharmaceutical field, diisopropylamine can be used in the production scenarios of propranolol, viprofen, probenzane and other pharmaceuticals; in In the chemical industry, diisopropylamine can be used in product manufacturing scenarios such as dyes, defoaming agents, emulsifiers, mineral flotation agents, rubber accelerators, and steel preservatives.

According to the “China Diisopropylamine Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center , with the rapid development of the downstream market, the domestic market demand for diisopropylamine continues to grow. In 2022, the domestic market demand for diisopropylamine will be approximately 24,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 11.7%. At the same time, diisopropylamine is also a new type of fine chemicals, belonging to the new material category, and the development of the industry is strongly supported by the state.

There are currently a large number of diisopropylamine manufacturers in China. The main companies include Dandong Yichuang Pharmaceutical, Dezhou Detian Chemical, Nantong Runfeng Petrochemical, Jinan Century Tongda Chemical, Shanghai Yishi Chemical, Jinjinle Chemical, Shanghai Merrill Biochemical, Jiangsu Pu There are many companies such as Lexi Biotech and Shandong Xinhe New Materials, but most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises, and the industry concentration is low. With the gradual release of production capacity of local enterprises, my country’s diisopropylamine output in 2022 will be approximately 26,000 tons, which can meet market demand, and market supply and demand are basically balanced.

Industry analysts said that diisopropylamine is an important basic chemical raw material and is currently used in medicine, pesticides, dyes, chemicals, Rubber and other fields have broad application prospects. Currently, driven by the rapid development of the downstream market for diisopropylamine, its market demand continues to grow, and the industry shows good development prospects. There are a large number of diisopropylamine production companies in my country, but most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises. There is no obvious leading company yet. There is still huge room for growth in the industry in the future.
