Description

Diisopropanolamine (CAS NO 110-97-4) is a versatile secondary amine and alkanolamine, valued for its dual functional groups that enable it to act as an effective emulsifier, neutralizing agent, and chemical intermediate. This compound is crucial for formulators seeking a stable, water-soluble amine with a favorable balance of alkalinity and surfactant properties. It is widely utilized across industries including personal care, agrochemicals, gas treatment, and metalworking fluids.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a pH adjuster, emulsifier, and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Gas Treating: Used as an absorbent in "sweetening" processes to remove acidic contaminants like hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from natural gas streams.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as a key component in herbicide and pesticide concentrates, enhancing solubility and stability.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting and grinding fluids.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed as a softening agent and dyeing auxiliary.
• Chemical Synthesis: An important intermediate for producing surfactants, emulsifiers, and pharmaceutical agents.
