Ethanolamine is a colorless, corrosive, flammable, toxic, and viscous liquid material used as feedstock in the manufacture of Triethanolamine, Diethanolamines and, Monoethanolamines, which finds application in the production of pharmaceuticals, corrosion inhibitors, detergents, chemical intermediates, polishes, and emulsifiers. Ethanolamine is the second most abundant head group substances for phospholipids.
Ethanolamines are viscous, colourless chemical compounds having the molecular formula HOCH2CH2NH2. These are utilised as a feedstock in the production of Monoethanolamines (MEA), Diethanolamines (DEA), and Triethanolamines (TEA), which are widely employed in the manufacturing of emulsifiers, detergents, polishes, chemical intermediates, corrosion inhibitors, and medicines.
