Our Products
Our Complete range of products are DIETHANOLAMINE ( DEA), Mono Ethanol Amine (MEA) and Perchloroethylene.
Diethanolamine (DEA) is an organic compound with the formula CHNO. It's a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint amine-like odor. DEA is a secondary amine, which means it has two ethanol groups attached to a nitrogen atom. Like Monoethanolamine (MEA), DEA is used in various industrial and commercial applications due to its chemical properties.
Here are some key aspects of DEA:
Uses and Applications
1. Detergents and Cleaners: DEA is commonly used in the formulation of detergents, shampoos, and other personal care products due to its ability to act as a surfactant and emulsifier.
2. Corrosion Inhibition: It serves as a corrosion inhibitor in various systems, including in the oil and gas industry, where it's used to prevent the corrosion of metals.
3. Gas Treatment: DEA is used in gas treating processes to remove carbon dioxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (HS) from natural gas and refinery gases.
4. Chemical Synthesis: DEA is involved in the production of other chemicals, such as DEA salts and surfactants used in various industrial processes.
5. pH Regulation: It is also used to adjust pH levels in different formulations and processes.
Safety and Handling
DEA is considered to be of low to moderate toxicity, but safety precautions are necessary:
- Skin and Eye Irritation: It can cause irritation to the skin and eyes upon contact.
- Inhalation: Inhalation of DEA vapors can lead to respiratory irritation.
- Environmental Impact: DEA can be harmful to aquatic life, so proper disposal and containment are important.
When handling DEA, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and proper ventilation should be used to minimize exposure. Always follow safety data sheets (SDS) and guidelines for handling and storage.
Monoethanolamine (MEA) is an organic compound with the formula CHNO. It's a colorless, viscous liquid with a mildly ammoniacal odor. MEA is widely used in various industrial applications due to its properties as a base and its ability to react with acids to form salts.
Here are some key uses and characteristics:
1. Industrial Uses: MEA is often used in the production of detergents, soaps, and cleaning products. It's also used in the gas industry to remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from natural gas and refinery gases.
2. Chemical Synthesis: MEA is involved in the production of other chemicals, such as ethylenediamine and triethanolamine.
3. Agriculture: It is used in the formulation of some herbicides and pesticides.
4. Corrosion Inhibition: MEA can act as a corrosion inhibitor in various systems.
5. pH Regulation: It is used to adjust the pH of solutions in various industrial processes.
When handling MEA, it’s important to follow safety guidelines, as it can be corrosive to the skin and eyes and may cause respiratory irritation. Proper ventilation and protective equipment are recommended when working with this chemical.
Perchloroethylene, also known as tetrachloroethylene, is a colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet odor. It is widely used as a solvent in dry cleaning, degreasing, and in the manufacture of chemicals. Perchloroethylene is valued for its effectiveness in dissolving oils, greases, and waxes, but requires careful handling due to its potential health and environmental hazards.
