Description

2-[2-(Dimethylamino)Ethoxy]Ethanol is a versatile tertiary amino alcohol with a bifunctional structure, combining both amino and hydroxyl groups. This unique molecular architecture makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing a wide range of specialty chemicals, including surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and pharmaceutical agents. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and personal care industries for its role in creating quaternary ammonium compounds and other functional derivatives.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and quaternary ammonium salts with antimicrobial properties.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Used as a precursor for manufacturing effective corrosion inhibitors for industrial water treatment and metalworking fluids.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Production: Serves as a raw material for creating cationic and amphoteric surfactants used in personal care and industrial cleaning products.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Intermediate in the production of herbicides, pesticides, and plant growth regulators.
• Polymer & Resin Modifier: Employed as a curing agent or cross-linking agent in epoxy resins and polyurethane systems.
• Gas Treating Agent: Utilized in formulations for acid gas scrubbing processes, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) capture.

Quality Control

Our 2-[2-(Dimethylamino)Ethoxy]Ethanol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by gas chromatography (GC) and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for industrial and pharmaceutical intermediate applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific test results are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

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. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and prevent contamination.
