Amines, High-Purity Solvents

Aminoethylethanolamine (AEEA)

Aminoethylethanolamine (AEEA), CAS 111-41-1, is a clear, colorless liquid characterized by an ammoniacal odor and a purity exceeding 99%. This versatile chemical intermediate features both primary and secondary amine groups along with a hydroxyl group, enabling it to react as an amine or an alcohol. Its bifunctional nature makes it a crucial building block for diverse chemical syntheses, including chelating agents, textile auxiliaries, surfactants, and polyamide resins. AEEA also finds use in gas sweetening, corrosion inhibition, and as an epoxy curing agent, demonstrating its broad industrial applicability.
