MATERIAL PROFILE / Individual substance
CAS: 109-73-9
Function: Primary alkylamine / industrial synthesis intermediate
Compare this material →This material’s published information has not yet been verified by a human reviewer.
Human verification concerns the stated information and scope. It is separate from an EcoSafe score, certification or safety approval.n-Butylamine is a primary aliphatic amine used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis. Reported downstream markets include agrochemicals, pharmaceutical intermediates, dyes, surfactants and rubber chemicals. It is a highly flammable, corrosive and acutely toxic industrial material requiring the precautions in its actual supplier SDS.

ANSES describes n-butylamine as an intermediate in making plasticizers, agrochemical and pharmaceutical products, emulsifiers, dyes and tanning agents, with rubber and polymer-processing applications. This is a chemical-synthesis building block, not evidence that unrestricted exposure or direct consumer use is appropriate.
Relevant market tags are agrochemicals, pharmaceutical synthesis, rubber chemicals, dyes, surfactants and specialty intermediates. Current global market shares and production rankings are not established here.
The reviewed sources do not establish that this OXEA n-butylamine grade is biobased, certified green or lower-carbon than alternatives. Its SDS reports 85% biodegradation in 14 days under OECD 301 C, which does not cancel flammability, corrosivity, acute toxicity or aquatic hazards. A greener-process claim would require exact-route, exposure and lifecycle evidence.
OXEA US SDS: highly flammable; harmful if swallowed; toxic by skin contact or inhalation; severe skin burns and eye damage; respiratory irritation; toxic to aquatic life.
Refer to the full actual regional SDS for safe handling and exposure controls.
