Description
Monoethanolamine
Monoethanolamine is an amine with alcohol and amine characteristics used in detergent, personal care, textile finishing, and wood treating products, as well as oil well and metalworking products for corrosion prevention. Also can be used as a cement grinding aid. Building block in the manufacture of triazine based corrosion inhibitors. A clear liquid with an ammonia-like odor. It is toxic, flammable, and corrosive. Uses: In sweetening natural gas and coal gas, as soaps or amides in heavy-duty detergents, in the production of ethylene amines, in aqueous solutions for scrubbing certain acidic gases, in feedstock in the production of detergents, emulsifiers, polishes, pharmaceuticals, corrosion inhibitors, and chemical intermediaries. CAS# (141-43-5).
MEA is a common ingredient in floor and tile cleaners and laundry detergents to help remove dirt, grease and stains. DEA is an ingredient in engine degreasers and industrial strength detergents. In gas treating processes for refineries and natural gas streams, MEA and DEA help remove contaminants from gasoline. DEA is also used as a chemical intermediate in agrochemicals to make pesticides, where it helps increase a pesticide’s ability to dissolve in water. TEA is used as a surfactant in agrochemicals to help pesticides disperse into crops.
MEA acts as a plasticizing agent, and chemical manufacturing plants may use MEA to remove carbon dioxide from ammonia gas in the production of synthetic ammonia.
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review has found that ethanolamine ingredients are safe as currently used in cosmetics and personal care products. FDA includes TEA, DEA and ethanolamine on its list of allowed indirect food additives.
To protect workers in industrial settings, OSHA has established a permissible exposure limit (PEL) for ethanolamine at 3 ppm in the air and requires employers to control workplace exposure below that PEL.
Monoethanolamine (MEA) : Used as acid gas absorbent, used in the pharmaceutical industry in the synthesis of fungicide, antidiarrheal agent; Fluorescent whitening agent in textile industry; Synthesis of high grade dyes in dyeing and chemical industry; Neutralizing agent in rubber industry and oil black industry; Also used in surfactant, rust inhibitor, cleaning agent, preservative, paint manufacturing, organic synthetic raw materials.

MonoEthanolamine (MEA) is a clear, colorless, viscous liquid with an odor of ammonia. The molecular formula is C2H7NO. Monoethanol amine combine 2 differents chemical functions, alcool and amine.
Monoethanolamine is produced by reacting ethylene oxide with aqueous ammonia.
This reaction produce monoethanolamine as well as diethanolamine and triethanolamine.
The ratio of each product can be controlled by the ratio of the reactants.
Uses
Monoethanolamine (MEA) is mainly used in detergents, personal-care products, textile, gas treating, wood treating, metal-working fluids, and catalysts for PU foams.
Ethanolamine, also called 2-aminoethanol or monoethanolamine (MEA), is a viscous, hygroscopic organic chemical compound that is both a primary amine (due to an amino group) and a primary alcohol (hydroxyl group). Used as a surfactant, fluorimetric reagent, and to remove CO2 and H2S from natural gas and other gases. Ethanolamine is widely distributed in biological tissue and is a component of lecithin. Ethanolamine is the second-most-abundant head group for phospholipids, substances found in biological membranes.

Chemical Properties
Applications
Ethanolamine is also used in messenger molecules such as palmitoylethanolamide, which have an effect on CB1 receptors. Ethanolamine is used as a scrubber for the removal of methyl bromide. Polyaniline doping ethanolamine is used for modified electrode preparation to measure uric acid in human body with the presence of antiscorbutic acid.
Notes
What is Monoethanolamine (CAS: 141-43-5)?
Monoethanolamine, also known as ethanolamine or 2-amioethanol is both a primary amine and a primary alcohol.
Like other amines, monoethanolamine behaves as a weak base. It is a toxic, flammable, corrosive, colourless and viscous liquid and has the same odour as ammonia.
Monoethanolamine is produced by reacting ethylene oxide with aqueous ammonia. Diethanolamine and triethanolmine are also produced from this reaction.
Monoethanolamine
Monoethanolamine (MEOA) belongs to the class of ethanolamines, with both primary amine and hydroxyl functionality.
Coatings
Monoethanolamine (MEOA) is used as a building block, ph-control agent as well as a dilution agent.
Inks
MEOA is used as a pH control agent in the formulation of packaging and printing inks
Other
Ethanolamines combine the properties of amines and alcohols in one molecule. They exhibit the unique capability of undergoing reactions common to both groups (bifunctioncal). As amines, they are mildly alkaline and react with acids to form salts or soaps. As alcohols they can can be transformed to ethers and esters. Ethanolamines are miscible with water, most alcohols and polyols.
Most of their industrial applications are dependent to some degree on these features.
Applications include the production of wood-treatment chemicals, detergents and surfactants.
Products are offered pure and in solutions with water.

Monoethanolamine is an organic compound that is the simplest type of amine. It is a colorless liquid with a mild, neutral odor. Monoethanolamine has been shown to be an effective antimicrobial agent, inhibiting bacterial growth by reacting with water vapor and nitrogen atoms in the environment. Monoethanolamine has also been shown to inhibit the production of nitric oxide and other reactive nitrogen species, which may account for its antimicrobial properties. The inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis may also account for monoethanolamine’s ability to improve locomotor activity in mice. This chemical can be used as a reagent in analytical methods such as gas chromatography and solid phase microextraction.
