Monoethanolamine MEA CAS 141-43-5

BLIT Chemical Monoethanolamine (MEA) is a clear, colorless, viscous liquid commonly used as a building block in the production of surfactants, emulsifiers, and other chemicals. MEA’s dual-functionality—an amine and an alcohol group—makes it useful in a wide range of applications, from gas treatment to the synthesis of personal care products, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

Specification:

Application:

Gas Sweetening: Used to remove acidic gases like CO₂ and H₂S in natural gas processing.

Surfactant Production: Acts as a base in producing nonionic surfactants for personal care and cleaning products.

Personal Care Products: Formulates emulsifiers and stabilizers for shampoos, soaps, and lotions.

Textile & Leather Processing: Used as a pH stabilizer and a neutralizer in textile and leather treatments.

Usage Guidelines:

Health Hazards: MEA may cause skin and eye irritation and can be harmful if inhaled or ingested. Prolonged exposure can lead to respiratory issues.
