REF : MEA 20KG-ADR
20kg Jerry Can
Ethanolamine, with the chemical formula NH2CH2CH2OH, is a weak base. It is commonly called monoethanolamine (MEA), to differentiate it from diethanolamine and triethanolamine.
Monoethanolamine is produced by the synthesis between ethylene oxide and aqueous ammonia. Its odor is similar to ammonia.
It is a raw material widely used in cosmetics and in the gas industry.
We offer MEA in 20-liter cans, 200-liter drums and 1016 kg IBCs, for professionals.
MAIN FUNCTIONS
- Raw material for the preparation of surfactants
- Reduction of acidity in certain gases
INDUSTRIAL USE
- Detergent industry: used for the manufacture of detergents and maintenance products
- Dye industry: raw material for the manufacture of ink and dye
- Chemical industry: used for the preparation of catalysts for synthetic resins, plasticizers, corrosion inhibitors, pharmaceuticals and vulcanization accelerators.
- Gas industry: used to reduce the acidity of certain gases. MEA is used to obtain pure carbon dioxide.
In cosmetic grade (on request):
Cosmetic industry: cosmetic raw material used for the preparation of soaps. Very present in so-called "ammonia-free" hair dyes to promote the opening of hair cuticles.
USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
In cosmetics, its use is regulated (see Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009, Annex III, line 61, Monoalkylamines, monoalkanolamines and their salts categories).
Caution, ethanolamine is a toxic, flammable and corrosive liquid. Take precautions when preparing your solutions.
