Description

2,2'-[[2-[(2-Hydroxyethyl)Amino]Ethyl]Imino]Bisethanol is a versatile tertiary amine polyol with multiple hydroxyl and amino functional groups. This structure makes it a valuable intermediate and functional additive, prized for its chelating properties and ability to modify surface characteristics. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the polymer, textile, and personal care industries for applications requiring pH buffering, metal ion sequestration, or as a building block for specialty surfactants and resins.

Application

• Polymer & Resin Modification: Acts as a chain extender or cross-linking agent in polyurethane and epoxy resin formulations, influencing flexibility and curing properties.
• Chelating Agent: Used in water treatment, textile processing, and cleaning formulations to sequester metal ions like calcium and magnesium, preventing scale and improving process efficiency.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Intermediate: Serves as a key raw material for synthesizing non-ionic and cationic surfactants used in personal care products and industrial cleaners.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Employed in dyeing and finishing processes as a leveling agent, softener, or antistatic agent to improve fabric quality.
• Gas Treating: Utilized in formulations for acid gas (e.g., CO2, H2S) scrubbing in natural gas processing and refining operations.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Intermediates: Functions as a pH adjuster and solubilizer in the synthesis of active ingredients and final formulations.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated as a corrosion inhibitor and stabilizer in cutting oils and coolants.
• Concrete Admixtures: Used as a grinding aid and set retarder in cement production to improve flow and final strength.
