Description

Diethylaminoethanol (DEAE) is a versatile amino alcohol with both tertiary amine and primary alcohol functionalities, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis. Its bifunctional nature allows it to act as a catalyst, pH adjuster, and building block for a wide range of specialty chemicals. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, coatings, and personal care industries seeking to produce emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, and active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of local anesthetics (e.g., procaine), antimalarials, and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Corrosion Inhibitor & Additive: Used in water treatment formulations, fuel additives, and metalworking fluids to neutralize acids and protect metal surfaces.
• Curing Agent & Catalyst: Employed as a catalyst for polyurethane foams and epoxy resin systems, and as a curing agent for coatings and adhesives.
• Emulsifier & Surfactant Precursor: Serves as a raw material for producing quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) used in fabric softeners, hair conditioners, and disinfectants.
• Gas Scrubbing Agent: Utilized in gas treatment processes to remove acidic components like carbon dioxide (CO₂) and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from industrial gas streams.
• Dye & Pigment Manufacturing: Acts as a solvent and intermediate in the production of various dyes and organic pigments.

Quality Control

Our Diethylaminoethanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, impurity profiling, and physical property verification. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
