General description

Ethanolamine is a colourless organic compound. It is a strong base and is miscible in water, alcohol, carbon tetrachloride and chloroform. It is highly toxic in nature and is a strong irritant. It is derived from ethylene oxide reacting with ammonia forming mono-, di-, and triethanolamine. It is widely used in manufacturing detergents when reacting with fatty acid. It is most commonly used a corrosion inhibitor.
This substance is listed on the positive list of the EU regulation 10/2011 for plastics intended to come into contact with food.

Application

Ethanolamine may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in cosmetic products, water samples and ethanolamine mixtures by various chromatography techniques.

Alkanolamines such as monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), and triethanolamine (TEA) are used as wetting agents in shampoos, lotions, creams, and other cosmetics. DEA is widely used to provide lather in shampoos and maintain a favorable consistency in lotions and creams.
