About Diethanolamine
Diethanolamine, commonly known as DEA, is a colorless, viscous liquid characterized by its ammonia-like odor. With the chemical formula C4H11NO2, DEA is an organic compound that, while liquid at room temperature, can also exist as a white crystalline solid.
The production of diethanolamine involves a two-step chemical process. Initially, ethylene oxide reacts with aqueous ammonia. The resulting compound then undergoes a second reaction with more ethylene oxide, ultimately yielding diethanolamine. This meticulous manufacturing process ensures the high quality and consistency of the final product.
DEA is available in two distinct grades: 98% and 99%. This flexibility allows us to meet a variety of client specifications, whether for industrial applications or specialized uses.
