Description: A transparent liquid with a sharp, pronounced ammonia-like odor. Fully miscible with water and readily soluble in common organic solvents such as ethanol, benzene, and chloroform. This versatile amino alcohol combines reactive amine and hydroxyl functional groups, enabling broad utility across gas treatment, chemical synthesis, and formulation chemistry.
Key Uses:
Gas Purification & Oil/Gas Processing. Effectively absorbs acidic gases (CO₂, H₂S) and sulfur-containing organic compounds, making it a preferred solvent for natural gas sweetening and refinery gas treatment applications.
Coatings, Pharmaceuticals & Textiles. Depending on grade purity, utilized in paint and varnish formulations, pharmaceutical intermediates, and textile processing aids such as dyeing assistants and fiber treatments.
Cosmetics & Personal Care Formulations. Serves as a key building block for producing emulsifiers, foam stabilizers, and surfactant bases used in shampoos, cleansers, and other personal care products.
Chemical Synthesis & Intermediate Production. Employed as a precursor in manufacturing valuable derivatives including ethylenediamine, N-vinylpyrrolidone, and other specialty amines for industrial and laboratory applications.
