Ethanolamine, also known as diethanolamine or MEA, is a chemical substance. It is a colorless, pungent liquid that is soluble in water at room temperature. Ethanolamine is produced by the reaction of ethanol and ammonia. It is widely used in many fields, including chemicals, personal care products and so on. The following are a few common uses:
1. Chemical synthesis: ethanolamine can be used as a solvent, intermediate and catalyst for chemical reactions. It plays an important role in the synthesis of dyes, rubber, plastics and coatings.
2. Cleaners and emollients: Ethanolamine can be used in the manufacture of personal care products such as detergents, hair care products, skin creams and cosmetics. It has the function of adjusting pH value, increasing lubricity and improving consistency.
3. Metal rust inhibitor: ethanolamine can react with chemical substances such as nitric acid to produce passivating agents, which are used to prevent rust and corrosion of metals. However, ethanolamine also has some harmful effects. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of ethanolamine may cause respiratory, eye and skin irritation. Therefore, when using ethanolamine, it is necessary to follow safe operating procedures and take appropriate protective measures.
