Because MEA combines the properties of amines and alcohols, MEA exhibits the unique
capability of undergoing reactions common to both groups. As an amine, MEA is mildly
alkaline and react with acids to form salts or soaps. As an alcohol, MEA is hygroscopic and
can be esterfied.
Application
MEA offers a broad spectrum of application opportunities,
primarily in detergents, personal care products, textile finishing and wood treating. Other
applications include use as “down hole” in oil well chemicals and in metalworking to prevent
corrosion, and as catalysts that promote stability during the reaction process in the
manufacture of flexible and rigid urethane foams.
