Description

2,2',2''-Nitrilotris[n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Acetamide] is a versatile, multi-functional organic compound characterized by its nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) core modified with hydroxylethyl acetamide arms. This structure provides excellent chelating and complexing properties, making it a valuable intermediate and functional additive in advanced chemical synthesis. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and specialty polymer industries for applications requiring controlled metal ion sequestration or as a building block for water-soluble resins.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and as a complexing agent in drug formulations.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a stabilizer and chelating agent in creams, lotions, and hair care products to enhance shelf-life and performance.
• Polymer & Resin Production: Serves as a cross-linking agent or monomer for creating water-soluble, biodegradable polymers and specialty coatings.
• Industrial Cleaning & Detergents: Acts as a key component in advanced chelating formulations for hard surface cleaners and industrial scale removers.
• Water Treatment: Employed in formulations designed to control scale and inhibit corrosion in boiler and cooling water systems.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Used as an auxiliary agent in dyeing and finishing processes to improve color fastness and material quality.

Quality Control

Our 2,2',2''-Nitrilotris[n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Acetamide] is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and key physical parameters are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after initial use to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect product quality and stability.
