Uses/Applications

Chemical Intermediates
Monoethanolamine serves as a precursor in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates, including ethyleneamines, ethanolamines, and surfactants.

Personal Care Products
MEA is utilized in the formulation of personal care and cosmetic products, including shampoos, conditioners, creams, and lotions. It functions as a pH adjuster, emulsifier, and viscosity modifier, helping to stabilize formulations and enhance their performance and sensory attributes.

Textile Industry
Monoethanolamine is employed in the textile industry for processes such as fabric softening and dyeing. It acts as a softener and lubricant, improving the handfeel and processability of textiles and enhancing the absorption and fixation of dyes on fibers.

Corrosion Inhibition
MEA is used as a corrosion inhibitor in various industrial applications, including metalworking fluids, cooling water systems, and boiler treatments. It forms a protective film on metal surfaces, preventing corrosion and extending the service life of equipment and infrastructure.

Adhesives and Sealants
MEA is incorporated into adhesive and sealant formulations as a curing agent and pH adjuster. It reacts with epoxy resins to promote cross-linking and improve the adhesion, strength, and durability of adhesives and sealants used in construction, automotive, and packaging industries.

Polyurethane Production
Monoethanolamine is utilized in the production of polyurethane foams and elastomers as a catalyst and blowing agent. It promotes the reaction between polyols and isocyanates, leading to the formation of polyurethane polymers with desired properties such as flexibility, resilience, and thermal insulation.
