Product Overview
DIETHANOLAMINE 98% For Synthesis is a high-purity, colorless to pale yellow liquid widely used as a solvent, reagent, and intermediate in chemical synthesis. With a molecular formula of C4H11NO2, it exhibits excellent hygroscopicity, making it effective in absorbing moisture from gases and liquids. This compound is particularly valued for its ability to form stable complexes with metal ions, enhancing its utility in corrosion inhibition and pH regulation. Its dual hydroxyl and amine functional groups provide versatility in reactions, including the synthesis of surfactants, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. The synthesis grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for precise laboratory applications where consistency and reliability are critical. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials like strong oxidizing agents. Always handle with appropriate protective equipment, including gloves and goggles, due to its corrosive nature.
