Monoethanolamine, also known as 2-aminoethanol (MEA), is highly regarded in the cosmetics industry for its wide range of applications and excellent performance.
2-Aminoethanol contains hydroxyl and amino groups, giving it unique chemical properties that make it indispensable in many applications. Its functions as a matrix, emulsifier, and surfactant make it widely used in personal care products and other products, playing a variety of roles.
, as a professional chemical manufacturer and exporter, supplies Monoethanolamine (CAS 141-43-5) with stable quality, standardized specifications, and scalable production capacity-meeting the procurement expectations of global industrial buyers.
Monoethanolamine (2-aminoethanol, Ethanolamine, TEA, or MEA) is an organic compound with the chemical formula HOCH2CH2NH2 or C2H₇NO. This molecule is bifunctional, containing both a primary amine and a primary alcohol.
has a distinctive odor similar to ammonia; it is a compound that functions as both a diamine and an alcohol.
MEA helps form cell membranes and is an essential component of life. In addition, ethanolamine is commonly found in floor and tile cleaners and laundry detergents, effectively removing dirt, grease, and stains. Monoethanolamine (MEA) can also help remove contaminants from gasoline. In chemical manufacturing plants, MEA can be used as a plasticizer and can remove carbon dioxide from ammonia gas to produce synthetic ammonia.
- Monoethanolamine is used in the manufacture of various specialty textiles, agricultural chemicals, waxes, mineral and vegetable oils, paraffin wax, polishing agents, cutting oils, petroleum demulsifiers, and as an emulsifier and dispersant in cement additives.
- MEA is also an intermediate in resins, plasticizers, and rubber additives. Furthermore, ethanolamine is used in the textile industry as a lubricant and as a humectant and softener for leather.
- Ethanolamine is also an alkalizing agent in pharmaceuticals, a surfactant, an absorbent for acidic gases, and an important component in organic synthesis.
Monoethanolamine (MEA) is widely used in cosmetics and personal care products, such as eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, blush, foundation, and powder, as well as perfumes, hair care products, hair dyes, perm kits, shaving products, sunscreens, skin care, and skin cleansing products. Additionally, MEA is used in certain perming and hair dyeing agents.
