Ethanolamine

Description:
Ethanolamine, also known as 2-aminoethanol, is an organic compound with the formula C2H7NO. It is a colorless, viscous liquid that is hygroscopic and has a faint ammonia-like odor. Ethanolamine is classified as both an amine and an alcohol, which contributes to its unique chemical properties. It is soluble in water and alcohol, making it versatile in various applications. Ethanolamine is primarily used in the production of surfactants, emulsifiers, and corrosion inhibitors, as well as in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It can also act as a pH adjuster in various formulations. The compound exhibits basic properties due to the presence of the amino group, allowing it to form salts with acids. Ethanolamine can be corrosive and may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, necessitating proper handling and safety precautions. Its reactivity with carbon dioxide can lead to the formation of carbamate compounds, further expanding its utility in chemical processes.
