Hexylamine is an aliphatic amine that is used in many industrial applications. It is utilized in the manufacturing of surfactants that are used in cleaning applications. It is used in the rubber industry for processing and improving the properties of rubber. It works as a corrosion inhibitor and protects metals from degradation in harsh environments. It is used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients and as an intermediate in chemical reactions. It is also used in dye industry for the formulation of dyes and pigments. It is used in the production of pesticides and other agrochemicals that improve agricultural productivity. It is soluble in organic solvents and is thus used as an initiator in polymerization reactions. It also has the ability to modify surface properties in gas-phase reactions, making it useful in advanced material science.

The market for hexylamine is driven by several factors. Its growing demand in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate contributes to its demand in healthcare. Its utilization as a surfactant, as well as in rubber industries, boosts its market demand. Its usage in the manufacturing of herbicides and pesticides further contributes to its demand in the agricultural sector. Its use in polymerization and in the manufacturing of dyes and pigments expands its demand in these sectors. Its growing use in different industrial production, along with changes in the prices of its raw material, affects industrial hexylamine procurement. The compliance with safety and environmental standards further impacts its production processes and costs. Also, the usage of modern technology improves its production efficiency and product quality, which further affects its procurement.

Raw Material for Hexylamine Production

According to the Hexylamine manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Hexylamine include Hexyl Chloride-Ammonia.

Manufacturing Process of Hexylamine

The extensive Hexylamine production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

• From Hexyl Chloride and Ammonia:  The manufacturing of hexylamine involves a reaction between hexyl chloride and ammonia. This reaction takes place under high pressure and elevated temperature forming hexylamine and hydrochloric acid as a by-product. After this, the mixture is purified by distillation to get pure hexylamine as the final product.

Hexylamine has a molecular formula of C6H15N and a molecular weight of 101.19 g/mol. It is a colorless liquid with an amine-like odor. It has a melting point of -23 °C and a boiling point of 131 °C. It has a flash point of 27 °C and a density of 0.766 g/cm³. It is poorly soluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. It is flammable and has explosion limits ranging from 2.1% to 9.3% in air. It is toxic upon contact with the skin, causing severe burns and eye damage. It reacts exothermically with acids to form salts and water but is incompatible with certain chemicals like isocyanates and halogenated organics. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in various applications like surfactants, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals.
