The process of octadecylamine (ODA) is mature and the market development space is small.

Octadecaamine (ODA) is a film-forming amine with good properties. It is a granular or white waxy substance. Industrial varieties usually contain secondary and tertiary amines. Most of the film-forming amines currently used in China are not pure octadecylamine, but octadecylamine derivatives or mixtures with octadecylamine as the main component. For use in gas units and thermal equipment, it mainly plays an anti-corrosion protection role. It has the advantages of good maintenance effect and simple operation, so it has been widely promoted. However, due to environmental protection factors, there is currently less demand for the application of octadecylamine in equipment maintenance.

Octadecaamine was originally developed and produced by DuPont. It is mainly used in high-end fields such as military industry and aviation. It is also produced in Suizhou, but due to limited production capacity, it is mainly used in the field of aviation and military industry. Octadecaamine is mainly used in the production of polyimide. Polyimide has excellent performance and can be widely used in microelectronics, printed circuit boards, display panels and other fields. Domestic demand continues to rise. In 2021, my country’s polyimide The market demand for imine films is around 18,000 tons.

According to the “Research Report on Application Market Demand and Development Opportunities of China’s Octadecaamine (ODA) Industry from 2022 to 2027” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that with the application of polyimide in FPC preparation and the development of the microelectronics industry, the demand for polyimide applications has increased, and the demand for octadecylamine has also increased. Driven by downstream demand, my country’s octadecylamine production technology has been continuously upgraded, from the highly polluting iron powder reduction process to the catalytic hydrogenation process, and the production capacity has gradually increased. Before 2010, my country’s market demand for octadecylamine was around 1,000 tons, and production companies included Dongying Guansen, Nantong Huishun, etc.; after 2010, driven by the development of the electronics industry, the application demand for octadecaamine increased, and the annual demand The volume reaches 10,000 tons. At present, my country’s production technology of octadecylamine is relatively mature. In 2021, the total output of my country’s large-scale ODA enterprises will be 8,000 tons.

In addition to the above applications, ODA can also be modified using the sol-gel method to prepare surface epoxy-based nano-SiO2 (E-SiO2) to obtain ODA-SiO2, which can be used to prepare water-based epoxy coatings, which can achieve long-term anti-corrosion The effect is in line with the development trend in the coating field. As my country’s anti-corrosion coating industry continues to optimize and upgrade, there will be room for application of ODA in the future.

Industry analysts said that ODA has a wide range of applications, and market demand is mainly driven by the development of the polyimide industry and benefits from the electronics industry. Development, the domestic polyimide market demand is rising, and the ODA industry has also developed rapidly. In addition to the above application fields, with the continuous research on ODA, it is found that it also has application prospects in anti-corrosion coatings. In terms of production, with the continuous improvement of production technology, my country’s ODA production process is developing in the direction of environmental protection and large-scale production. The process is gradually produced, and the production capacity basically meets the market demand, and the market development space is small.
