Product Overview
Ethanolamine LR is a high-purity, colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid with a mild ammonia-like odor, widely used in laboratory settings for its versatile chemical properties. As a primary amine and alcohol, it serves as an effective solvent, pH regulator, and intermediate in organic synthesis. Its hygroscopic nature makes it ideal for absorbing moisture in gas streams, while its reactivity with acids and aldehydes enables applications in detergent manufacturing, pharmaceutical formulations, and corrosion inhibition. This laboratory-grade ethanolamine meets stringent purity standards, ensuring reliable performance in analytical procedures and chemical reactions. The product is stable under normal conditions but should be stored in a cool, dry place away from oxidizing agents to maintain its integrity. With a boiling point of 170°C and miscibility in water, ethanolamine LR offers excellent compatibility with various organic solvents, making it a valuable reagent in research and industrial laboratories.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Ethanolamine LR when stored properly?
When stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight, Ethanolamine LR typically retains its stability for 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is Ethanolamine LR compatible with glass containers for long-term storage?
Yes, Ethanolamine LR can be safely stored in glass containers, as it does not react with glass under normal conditions. However, ensure the container is airtight to prevent moisture absorption.
3. Can Ethanolamine LR be used as a substitute for triethanolamine in formulations?
While both are amino alcohols, Ethanolamine LR has a lower molecular weight and different reactivity compared to triethanolamine. Substitution depends on the specific application and desired properties.
4. What precautions should be taken while handling Ethanolamine LR?
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat, as Ethanolamine LR can cause skin and eye irritation. Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhalation.
5. Does Ethanolamine LR require any special disposal methods?
Ethanolamine LR should be disposed of in accordance with local chemical waste regulations. Neutralize with a compatible acid before disposal if required by guidelines.
