Introduction
Ethanolamine is an organic compound, also known as 2-aminoethanol. It is a colorless to light yellow liquid with an ammonia odor. Ethanolamine is an important chemical raw material widely used in the preparation of surfactants, emulsifiers, lubricant additives, and so on.
Nature:
-Appearance: colorless to light yellow liquid
-Solubility: easily soluble in water and alcohol solvents
-Property: It has alkalinity and can react with acids to form salts
Usage:
-Used as raw material for preparing lubricant additives
-Used as a substitute for ammonia and ethylene glycol, applied in the production of coatings, resins, and adhesives
-Used as a buffer and reagent in biochemical research
Method:
-Ethanolamine can be prepared by reacting ammonia and ethane oxide
-Or obtained through alcohol amine reaction
Security:
-Long term exposure to non ventilated conditions may lead to symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, etc
-Appropriate protective measures should be taken, such as wearing gloves, breathable clothing, and eye protection, to reduce exposure risks
