Aminoethylethanolamine (AEEA) CAS 111-41-1

Product Overview

AEEA is provided for industrial use as a multifunctional amine intermediate. Its amino and hydroxyl functionality makes it suitable for reaction systems where curing activity, intermediate synthesis value, or downstream surfactant chemistry is required.

AEEA is used as an intermediate in detergent and fabric-softener chemistry, chelate production, fuel additives, coatings and other amino-alcohol synthesis routes. Assay and impurity limits support reaction consistency, while water and color requirements depend on the intended process and finished-product specification.

Physical & Chemical Properties

AEEA Quality Control

We can provide GC chromatograms and relevant analytical results for AEEA, with the assay method and reporting basis. Gas chromatography (GC) can characterize AEEA and related amine impurities; GC area percentage and mass percentage are not interchangeable without appropriate calibration. Water can be measured by Karl Fischer titration, color on the APHA/Hazen platinum-cobalt scale, and amine value by non-aqueous acid-base titration. Amine value measures total basicity and does not by itself establish purity or the amine-hydrogen equivalent weight used for epoxy formulation. These results help match the supplied grade to your process acceptance limits.

Applications

• Epoxy resin curing and related industrial resin systems
• Intermediate for corrosion inhibitor formulations and process chemicals
• Raw material for amphoteric surfactants and related specialty chemicals
• Intermediate for detergents, fabric softeners, chelates, fuel additives and coating chemistry
• Industrial synthesis where amino alcohol functionality is required in the reaction system

For reactive amine selection, compare Ethylenediamine (EDA), Diethylenetriamine (DETA) and Tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA). These ethyleneamines differ from AEEA in functionality and do not provide its hydroxyl group. Compare reaction requirements and, for epoxy systems, amine-hydrogen equivalents and cure behavior before changing raw materials.

For coating formulations that need a tertiary amino alcohol for neutralization, see N-Butyldiethanolamine (BDEA). Its tertiary amine differs from the primary and secondary amines in AEEA; the products are not direct equivalents as reactive hardener ingredients.

Packaging

We specify AEEA packaging and net weight in our quotation according to the quantity, destination and transport requirements.

Storage Conditions

• Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse away from fire and heat sources.
• Keep the container tightly sealed to reduce moisture absorption and air exposure.
• Store separately from oxidizing agents, acids, and incompatible materials.
• Protect from direct sunlight and humid storage conditions.
• Our product documentation states the storage temperature and retest period for the supplied AEEA grade.

Safety Precautions

• Handle with suitable industrial protective equipment including gloves and eye protection.
• Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes and avoid inhalation of vapors or mists.
• Use sealed containers and suitable ventilation during transfer and processing.
• Prevent contact with acids, oxidizing substances, and incompatible reactive chemicals.
• Refer to the latest SDS before storage, transport, and industrial use.
