Description

Diethanolamine Hydrochloride is an important organic salt derived from diethanolamine, serving as a versatile intermediate and reagent in advanced chemical synthesis. Its significance lies in its dual functionality, offering both the reactivity of an amine hydrochloride and the solubility characteristics of an ethanolamine derivative. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries, where it is utilized in the preparation of active ingredients, surfactants, and corrosion inhibitors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring ethanolamine-based structures.
• Chemical Synthesis Reagent: Acts as a hydrochloride salt source and a building block in organic reactions, including amidation and esterification processes.
• Surfactant & Detergent Formulation: Serves as a precursor for the production of amphoteric and cationic surfactants used in personal care and industrial cleaning products.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Precursor: Employed in the manufacture of compounds that protect metals in cooling water systems and industrial processes.
• Gas Scrubbing Agent: Utilized in formulations designed to absorb acidic gases like CO2 and H2S in natural gas treatment and industrial air purification.
• Biochemical Research: Functions as a buffer component or a reagent in biochemical and microbiological laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Diethanolamine Hydrochloride is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, impurity profiling, and identity confirmation. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements and support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
