Affected by factors such as technical level and environmental protection, the growth rate of demand for ethylamine has slowed down.

Ethylamine has a molecular formula of C2H7N and a molecular weight of 45.08. It is a colorless and highly volatile liquid with an ammonia smell and is alkaline. The chemical is highly toxic and highly irritating and can irritate the eyes, trachea, lungs, skin and excretory system.

Ethylamine is widely used and is one of the typical products of fine chemicals. Ethylamine can be used in dye synthesis; it can also be used in the production of pesticide triazine herbicides, including atrazine and simazine; ethylamine is also used in dyes, rubber accelerators, surfactants, antioxidants, ion exchange resins, Production of solvents, detergents, lubricants, metallurgical mineral processing agents, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, etc.

From the perspective of production technology, ethylamine includes monoethylamine, diethylamine and triethylamine. There are many production methods for ethylamine. Currently, four commonly used production methods in industry include ethanol gas-phase ammoniation, acetaldehyde hydrogenation, ethanol ammonia, and ethyl chloride ammonia. Among them, the ethanol ammoniation method has the advantages of advanced technology, no side reactions, high product quality, low energy consumption, and the ability to produce monoethylamine, diethylamine, and triethylamine at the same time. It is the world’s most advanced ethylamine production technology.

At present, the international ethylamine production capacity is mainly concentrated in developed countries such as the United States, Europe, and Japan. Representative companies such as American Air and Chemicals Company, German BASF, Arkema, and Japanese Mitsubishi have advanced technologies and are internationally recognized. Have strong competitive strength. The main ethylamine production companies in China include Zhejiang Jianye Chemical Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Xinhua Chemical Co., Ltd., Nanjing Qinzuofu Chemical Co., Ltd., etc.

According to the “China Ethylamine Industry Segment Demand and Development Opportunities Research Report 2022-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, In recent years, the output and demand of China’s ethylamine industry have continued to grow. Among them, the output of China’s ethylamine industry in 2022 will be approximately 300,000 tons. However, the current domestic ethylamine market has become saturated and can fully meet the domestic market demand, with export volume increasing year by year. Therefore, in the future, in addition to meeting domestic demand, domestic ethylamine products may be mainly exported.

Industrial Research personnel said that in recent years, with the rapid development of pharmaceutical, pesticide and fine chemical industries, the domestic market demand for ethylamine The overall growth trend is present, but due to the relatively backward technical strength of domestic enterprises and the increasingly strict national environmental protection policies, the growth rate of the ethylamine industry has slowed down. In the future, with the further development of the downstream industry and the continuous improvement of the industry’s technical level, the market demand for ethylamine will still grow further, but the demand growth rate will slow down.
