Items Specifications Appearance Colorless liquid Purity 99.5% Isobutyl alcohol 0.2% Diisobutylamine 0.1% Water 0.2%
Isobutylamine is a clear, colorless liquid with a strong ammonia-like odor, widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and rubber chemicals. Its high solubility in water, alcohol, and ether makes it a versatile reagent for organic synthesis and industrial processes.
Supplied in sealed containers to preserve purity and prevent contamination, this grade meets typical industrial specifications for reactivity and consistency. The 99.5% minimum purity ensures reliable performance in downstream applications such as resin curing, corrosion inhibition, and chemical derivatization.
When handling isobutylamine, ensure adequate ventilation and use appropriate PPE due to its volatility and corrosive nature. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from oxidizing agents and acids. Always follow supplier safety data sheets and local regulations for transport and storage.
Best suited for:
Not ideal for:
Compared with n-butylamine, isobutylamine offers slightly lower volatility and different steric properties, which may influence reaction selectivity in organic synthesis. It is generally less expensive per kilogram than sec-butylamine but more reactive than tert-butylamine.
Pricing scales with volume tiers and minimum order quantity (MOQ). Contact suppliers directly to request a tailored quote based on your required batch size and delivery schedule.

Industrial grades typically range from 98.5% to 99.5% purity, with lower levels of isobutyl alcohol, diisobutylamine, and water. Confirm exact specification with the supplier based on your application.
It is generally compatible with HDPE and PP for short-term storage at ambient temperatures. For long-term or bulk storage, consult the supplier for compatibility confirmation and material recommendations.
Yes, it is used as a corrosion inhibitor and pH adjuster in metalworking formulations due to its basicity and film-forming potential. However, formulation testing is recommended to assess performance and compatibility with other additives.
Isobutylamine is corrosive to skin and eyes, harmful if inhaled, and highly flammable. It requires proper ventilation, PPE, and secondary containment during handling and storage.
Yes. Reputable suppliers provide an SDS compliant with GHS standards upon request or with initial shipment. Ensure it covers your jurisdiction’s regulatory requirements.
Dispose of in accordance with local hazardous waste regulations. Do not release into waterways or sewer systems. Use licensed waste disposal services and retain documentation.
Yes, but it requires proper classification (UN2734), packaging, and documentation per IATA regulations. Confirm with the supplier for air freight feasibility and compliance.
While chemically stable for years under proper storage, degradation or contamination risk increases with prolonged storage or exposure to moisture or heat. Use within 24 months of production is typical; confirm with the supplier.
