Amine oxide (OA) series products are abundant and market demand will continue to grow

Amine oxide (OA), also known as amine-N-oxide and N-oxide, is obtained by oxidizing tertiary amines or pyridine derivatives by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), persulfuric acid or organic peracids (such as mCPBA) , Appearance is colorless or light yellow transparent liquid. Amine oxide is a multifunctional amphoteric surfactant with the characteristics of biodegradation, low irritation, antistatic, and low toxicity. In addition, it also has the functions of emulsification, thickening, foam stabilization, decontamination, washing, and moisturizing.

As a multifunctional surfactant, amine oxide is widely used in medicine, daily chemicals, textiles, oral hygiene products and other fields. In the field of daily chemicals, amine oxide can be used to prepare bath soaps, shampoos, detergents, and lotions. and other products. According to different application fields, amine oxide can be divided into industrial grade, food grade and pharmaceutical grade. At present, industrial grade amine oxide is the mainstream product in my country’s market.

Amine oxide series surfactants are rich in types, including alkylamidopropyl amine oxide, phosphate-containing amine oxide, octyl dimethyl amine oxide, myristyl polyoxyethylene amine oxide, polyoxyethylene oxide-containing Amines etc. With consumption upgrading, it will be an inevitable trend to develop new, multi-functional and efficient amine oxide series products. While maintaining the performance of amine oxide, the new amine oxide is also endowed with more excellent performance, which is expected to further expand the scope of amine oxide. Application scope.

Amphoteric surfactants refer to surfactants that have both anionic and cationic hydrophilic groups. According to data from the China Daily Chemical Industry Information Center, in 2021, my country’s output of bisexual and other types of products was 65,100 tons, and sales were 167,900 tons, a year-on-year increase of 1.14%.

According to the “2022-2027 China Amine Oxide (OA) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that amine oxide is a subcategory that accounts for a large proportion of my country’s amphoteric surfactant market. The main domestic manufacturers include Sichuan Huayu, Guangzhou Tianci, Zhejiang Chuanhua, Zhejiang Zanyu, Shanghai Nuosong, Changsha Puji, etc., among which Sichuan Huayu is a national high-tech enterprise, and its amine oxide series products rank first in the domestic market share.

In the international market, there are many amine oxide manufacturers, including American P&G Company, DuPont, American ONXY Chemical, Nippon Oils and Fats Co., Ltd., Kao Co., Ltd., AKZO Chemical, etc. The foreign amine oxide market started early and is ahead of the domestic market in terms of technical level, R&D capabilities, application fields, product types and performance.

Industry analysts said that my country’s research and application of amine oxide started later than foreign markets, but with technological progress and improved R&D capabilities, my country’s amine oxide series products are also becoming increasingly abundant. Amine oxide is an amphoteric surfactant with a large market share. Its downstream applications involve many fields such as daily chemicals, medicine, and food. With the development of downstream industries, the market demand for amine oxide is expected to further grow.
