Diethanolamine (DEA), with the chemical formula HN(CH₂CH₂OH)₂, is a viscous, colorless to pale yellow liquid that combines the properties of both secondary amines and alcohols. This dual reactivity makes DEA a valuable chemical intermediate and functional agent in a variety of industrial applications. It is hygroscopic, highly soluble in water, and commonly used in gas sweetening, surfactants, textile treatment, and metalworking fluids.

Delivered in robust drum packaging (typically ~200–220 kg net weight), DEA provides an ideal solution for controlled, medium-scale usage in manufacturing and processing environments.

Key Features:

Dual Functional Groups: Acts as both an amine and alcohol for versatile chemical reactivity
High Solubility: Completely miscible with water and many organic solvents
Stable and Non-Volatile: Performs well across a range of industrial applications
Drum Packaging: Ensures safe storage and convenient use
Applications:

Gas Treatment: Used in amine scrubbers to remove acidic gases (CO₂ and H₂S) from natural gas and refinery streams
Surfactant and Detergent Production: Serves as a raw material for emulsifiers, soaps, and shampoos
Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier
Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a softening and neutralizing agent
Cosmetics and Personal Care (in controlled grades): Used as a pH balancer and emulsifying agent
With its strong chemical utility, proven reliability, and secure drum packaging, DEA offers your customers a high-performance solution across a wide spectrum of industrial and commercial formulations.
