Monoethanolamine (Mea) - Industrial Grade | Effective In Detergents, Personal Care, Textile Finishing, Oil Well Chemicals, Corrosion Prevention

We are eminent manufacturer, supplier and exporter of a quality stock of Monoethanolamine (MEA) in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Monoethanolamine (MEA) offers a broad spectrum of application opportunities, primarily in detergents, personal care products, textile finishing and wood treating. Other applications include use as a down holea 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. Because MEA combines the properties of amines and alco-hols, 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 alc-ohol, MEA is hygroscopic and can be esterfied.

Detergents
a c MEA imparts a reserve alkalinity to the laundry ba-th, which is essential to efficient cleaning.
a c MEA is an effective oil and anti-redeposition agent.

Personal Care
a c Fatty acids neutralized with MEA are used as emulsifiers for oil-in water emulsions such as gel-type industrial hand cleaners, aerosol shave creams, and hand and body lotions.

Textile Finishing
a c MEA is used as reaction intermediates for the preparation of durable press fabric finishes and softeners.
a c When reacted to form amine soaps, useful as scouring agents for wool and silk because of its low alkalinity.
