Description

Diethanolmethylamine is a versatile tertiary amine and amino alcohol with significant industrial utility. Its bifunctional structure, containing both amine and hydroxyl groups, makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing a wide range of chemical products. This compound is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and personal care industries for its role in producing emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Its hygroscopic nature necessitates careful handling and storage to maintain product integrity.

Application

• Key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical actives and agrochemicals.
• Production of emulsifiers and surfactants for industrial and cosmetic formulations.
• Manufacturing of corrosion inhibitors for metalworking fluids and cooling systems.
• Precursor for quaternary ammonium compounds used as biocides and fabric softeners.
• Component in gas treatment formulations for acid gas scrubbing (e.g., CO2, H2S removal).
• Raw material for producing curing agents and cross-linkers in epoxy resin systems.
• Used in the synthesis of specialty polymers and chelating agents.

Quality Control

Our Diethanolmethylamine is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment. We can supply grades tailored to meet various industry standards, including technical and high-purity specifications.

Storage

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