Monoethanolamine 99% is a biogenic amine, an organic chemical compound belonging to the group of amino alcohols. It is used in industry as a softening agent and emulsifier in the production of washing agents. It is an irreplaceable plasticizer in the production and processing of plastics.
On an industrial scale, it is obtained in the process of combining ethylene oxide with ammonia.
It is a valued reagent in the chemical industry. It can be used with ammonia to produce diethanolamine, which is a precursor to the commonly used EDTA chelating agent.
Monoethanolamine is often used to remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from gas streams. Among other things, sour natural gas, exhaust gas or regenerated breathing gas in closed breathing systems. Since ethanolamine is a weak base, heating releases the gas dissolved in it, ensuring efficient recycling of the flushing agent.
Other applications of Ethanolamine include buffering and pH adjustment, preparation of emulsions, alkalization of water in closed steam generation circuits, including pressurized water reactors.
