Diethanolamine (DEA) is a multifunctional secondary amine and a dialcohol. In the Industrial Chemicals, Beauty & Personal Care, and Agrochemical hierarchies, a foundational "workhorse" chemical. Diolamine unique ability to act as both a weak base and an alcohol allows it to function as a highly efficient gas scrubber, a surfactant precursor, and a neutralizing agent in hundreds of industrial formulations. Source High-Purity Diethanolamine (CAS 111-42-2) from Scimplify, your authoritative global manufacturer and wholesale supplier of alkanolamines. this bifunctional compound is a critical gas sweetening agent and surfactant intermediate used extensively in the oil, gas, and detergent industries. Our bulk Diethanolamine is engineered for high-performance acid gas removal (AGR), efficiently scrubbing H₂S and CO₂ from refinery streams. As a leading alkanolamine supplier, we provide 2,2'-Iminodiethanol that serves as a vital neutraliser in cosmetic formulations and a primary building block for glyphosate herbicides and textile lubricants. Whether you are formulating corrosion inhibitors or high-efficiency metalworking fluids, Scimplify ensures global regulatory compliance, providing consistent viscosity, COA/SDS transparency, and reliable bulk lead times

Standard aqueous solution used in the "Amine Scrubbing" process. It removes acidic contaminants (H,S and COz) from natural gas and refinery off-gases through a reversible chemical reaction, ensuring the gas meets pipeline specifications and environmental standards
To Manufacture Diethanolamides (like Cocamide DEA), which act as foam stabilizers, viscosity builders, and emulsifiers in shampoos, liquid soaps, and bubble baths. Serves as a mild pH adjuster in various skin care products
Intermediate in the production of Glyphosate. Assists in the formation of the salt-based active ingredient, ensuring high water solubility and leaf penetration
Hygroscopic and sensitive to light and air. DEA has a freezing point of 28°C (82°F); in cooler climates, it will solidify in the drum and may require "hot room" storage.
Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Use stainless steel or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) tanks. To prevent discoloration, store under a Dry Nitrogen Blanket.
Regulated as environmentally hazardous (Class 9). Typically shipped in 220kg steel drums, IBC totes, or bulk ISO tanks.
Not at all. DEA has a relatively high freezing point for a liquid (28°C). This is a natural physical change. Simply move the drums to a heated warehouse or use a drum heater to gently warm the material until it returns to a clear liquid state. Avoid localized overheating above 50°C to prevent thermal degradation.
DEA is prone to yellowing when exposed to oxygen. We utilize nitrogen-blanketed filling lines and high-grade stainless steel storage to ensure an APHA color of ≤ 15 and negligible iron content, which is critical for customers in the Beauty and Personal Care sectors.
In the USA and EU, DEA is allowed as a pH adjuster and intermediate. However, there are strict limits on the formation of nitrosamines. We ensure our DEA has minimal Monoethanolamine (MEA) and Triethanolamine (TEA) cross-contamination to help formulators meet safety compliance standards.
While both are alkanolamines, DEA is a secondary amine and is generally less reactive but more stable than MEA. It is often preferred in refinery applications because it has a lower vapor pressure (less chemical loss) and is less corrosive to equipment, though it requires different circulation rates.
