Ethanolamine, with the chemical formula NH2CH2CH2OH, is a weak base. It is commonly called monoethanolamine (MEA), to distinguish it from diethanolamine and triethanolamine.
Monoethanolamine is derived from the synthesis of 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, intended for professionals.
MAIN FUNCTIONS
- Raw material for the preparation of surfactants
- Reduction of the acidity of certain gases
INDUSTRIAL USE
- Detergent industry: used for the manufacture of detergents and maintenance products
- Dye industry: raw material for the manufacture of inks and dyes
- Chemical industry: used for the preparation of catalysts for synthetic resins, plasticizers, corrosion inhibitors, pharmaceutical products, and vulcanization accelerators.
- Gas industry: used to reduce the acidity of certain gases. MEA is used to obtain pure carbon dioxide.
