What is monoethanolamine used for?

Amine with alcohol and amine characteristics used in detergent, personal care, textile finishing, and wood treating products, as well as oil well and metalworking products for corrosion prevention​​. Also can be used as a cement grinding aid.

Is monoethanolamine a corrosion?

Alkanolamines are normally corrosion inhibitors in CO2 absorption systems. Examples of alkanolamines are monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, methyldiethanolamine, disopropylamine and diglycolamine.

What is the freezing point of Dow monoethanolamine?

DOW Monoethanolamine is available as MEA, MEA LFG and MEA ICF. MEA Low Freezing Grade (LFG) is a variation of MEA commercial grade for easier handling in colder ambient temperatures (freezing point: -13ºC/8.6ºF). It is an 85% solution of MEA with 15% water.

What is the safety data sheet for monoethanolamine?

SAFETY DATA SHEET: MONOETHANOLAMINE 1. IDENTIFICATION MONOETHANOLAMINE SYNONYMS: MEA, ETHANOLAMINE SOLUTIONS CHEMICAL FAMILY: ALKANOLAMINE 2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Potential Acute Health Effects: Corrosive. Causes eye and skin burns.

What kind of alcohol is Dow monoethanolamine?

As an amine, MEA is mildly alkaline and react with acids to form salts or soaps. As an alcohol, MEA is hygroscopic and can be esterfied. DOW Monoethanolamine is available as MEA, MEA LFG and MEA ICF. MEA Low Freezing Grade (LFG) is a variation of MEA commercial grade for easier handling in colder ambient temperatures (freezing point: -13ºC/8.6ºF).

What is the storage stability of monoethanolamine?

STORAGE STABILITY – Monoethanolamine and iron form a complex molecule, trisethanolamino-iron. This material can spontaneously decompose at temperatures between 130° and 160°C, and has been suspected of causing a fire in a nearly empty storage tank containing a ’heel’ of MEA in contact with carbon steel steam coils.
