Description

2,2'-[[2-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)Ethyl]Imino]Bisethanol is a versatile, water-soluble tertiary amine polyol with a branched structure. This compound is valued for its excellent chelating properties and ability to act as a reactive intermediate or a functional additive. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of specialty polymers, metalworking fluids, and personal care products where its multifunctional hydroxyl groups provide key performance benefits.

Application

• Polymer & Resin Synthesis: Acts as a chain extender, crosslinking agent, or monomer in the production of polyurethanes, polyesters, and epoxy resins, imparting flexibility and hydrophilicity.
• Metalworking & Industrial Fluids: Serves as a key component in synthetic coolants and lubricants, where it functions as a corrosion inhibitor and stabilizer.
• Chelating Agent: Used in water treatment formulations and cleaning products to sequester metal ions such as calcium and magnesium, preventing scale formation.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as a humectant and pH adjuster in creams, lotions, and hair care products due to its non-irritating and moisturizing properties.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Functions as a building block in the synthesis of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug delivery systems.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Used as a dyeing auxiliary and softening agent, improving the handle and color fastness of fabrics and leathers.
