Description

2-(Butylamino)Ethanol is a versatile amino alcohol intermediate characterized by its bifunctional nature, containing both a secondary amine and a primary hydroxyl group. This structure makes it a valuable building block for synthesizing a wide range of specialty chemicals, including corrosion inhibitors, surfactants, and pharmaceutical intermediates. It is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical, personal care, and oilfield chemical industries seeking to develop high-performance formulations.

Application

• Corrosion Inhibitor Precursor: A key intermediate in the synthesis of filming amines and other compounds used to protect metal surfaces in industrial cooling systems, boilers, and oil & gas pipelines.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Manufacturing: Used to produce cationic and amphoteric surfactants for personal care products, textile processing, and agrochemical formulations.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug delivery agents.
• Gas Treating Agent: Employed in formulations for the removal of acidic gases like CO₂ and H₂S in natural gas sweetening and refining processes.
• Curing Agent for Epoxy Resins: Acts as a hardener or accelerator in epoxy resin systems for coatings, adhesives, and composites.
• Lubricant Additive: Utilized in the production of additives that improve the anti-wear and extreme pressure properties of industrial lubricants.

Quality Control

Our 2-(Butylamino)Ethanol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, color, and moisture content to guarantee consistent quality and reliability for your processes.

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 such as strong oxidizing agents and acids. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and oxidation.
