Description

2,2'-[[(2-Hydroxyethyl)Imino]Bis(Ethane-2,1-Diylimino)]Bisethanol is a high-purity, multifunctional amine compound valued for its excellent chelating and surface-active properties. Its molecular structure makes it a critical intermediate and performance additive in demanding industrial and technical applications. This product is essential for manufacturers in sectors requiring reliable metal ion control, pH buffering, and dispersion, such as water treatment, textile processing, and personal care formulations.

Application

• Water Treatment Chemicals: Acts as a highly effective chelating agent and antiscalant in boiler and cooling water systems to control metal ions like calcium and magnesium.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a leveling agent, dye-fixing agent, and softener in dyeing and finishing processes to improve color fastness and fabric handle.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a pH adjuster, emulsifier, and stabilizer in formulations for creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as a corrosion inhibitor and stabilizer in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting fluids and lubricants.
• Agricultural Chemicals: Employed as an adjuvant and formulation aid in pesticides and herbicides to enhance stability and efficacy.
• Paints & Coatings: Used as a dispersant and grinding aid for pigments, improving color development and stability in the final product.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Utilized in the synthesis of more complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients.
• Gas Treatment: Applied in gas scrubbing processes for the removal of acidic components like CO2 and H2S.

Quality Control

Our 2,2'-[[(2-Hydroxyethyl)Imino]Bis(Ethane-2,1-Diylimino)]Bisethanol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets the highest standards of purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to mitigate potential oxidation.
