Monoethanolamine

Introduction

Monoethanolamine (MEA) is a colorless, transparent, viscous liquid that solidifies into white crystalline solids at low temperatures. It has a faint ammonia-like odor, exhibits strong alkalinity, and is hygroscopic. It is readily soluble in water and alcohols, and slightly soluble in benzene and ether. Chemically reactive, it can react with various acids to form esters, amides, and salts.

Product Grades

Industrial Grade

Premium Grade: Monoethanolamine content ≥99.0%, moisture ≤1.0%, boiling range (168–174°C) ≥95% (by volume), appearance is a clear light yellow viscous liquid with no suspended matter.

First Grade: Total amine content ≥95.0%, with no strict limits on moisture and boiling range. Suitable for general industrial solvents, emulsifiers, and other applications.

Qualified Grade: Total amine content ≥80.0%, with relatively lower purity. Primarily used as a basic chemical raw material where high purity is not required.

Reagent Grade

Purity typically reaches 99.5%–99.9%, with stricter impurity control (e.g., color APHA ≤15). Mainly used in laboratory analysis, chromatography stationary phases, and pharmaceutical synthesis intermediates.

Standard stock items are industrial grade. For special-grade orders, please contact us for full documentation.
