Monoethanolamine

مونو اتانول آمین​

Product introduction:

Monoethanolamine (C₂H₇NO) is a primary amine from the amino alcohol family. It appears as a clear, colorlessto pale yellow viscous liquid with an ammonia-like odor. Due to the presence of both hydroxyl (-OH) and amino (-NH₂) functional groups, it exhibits amphoteric behavior (acting as both an acid and a base) and is highly soluble in water and other polar solvents.

Features and Benefits:

  • Strong absorbent of acidic gases such as CO₂ and H₂S
  • Broad industrial applicability
  • Highly reactive and sensitive to air and light
  • Soluble in water and alcohols
  • Hygroscopic nature (moisture absorbent)

Applications:

  • Gas & Petrochemical Industry: Used as an absorbent for acidic gases in natural gas purification and refinery processes.
  • Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a pH adjuster, emulsifier, and stabilizer in a wide range of cosmetic and personal care products.
  • Detergent Industry: Used as a raw material in the production of various surfactants.
  • Textile Industry: Functions as an intermediate in the preparation of fibers and fabric softeners. Due to its hygroscopic nature, it is also used in the production of printing pastes.
  • Lubricants & Metalworking: Used as a corrosion inhibitor and acid neutralizer to protect metal surfaces and extend the lifespan of metal components. It is also used in the formulation of lubricants and metalworking fluids.
  • Wood Industry: Serves as an essential component in the formulation of wood preservatives and is also used in wood finishing processes to enhance resistance against insects and environmental degradation.
  • Agriculture: Used in the formulation of fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides.
