Applications
- Gas Sweetening — Removes CO2 and H2S from natural gas streams; widely used in GCC oil and gas processing
- Cement Grinding Aid — Used with TEA as a grinding aid additive to improve cement milling efficiency and strength development
- Surfactants — Raw material for the synthesis of ethoxylated amine surfactants used in cleaning, textiles, and agriculture
- Agriculture — Precursor in the synthesis of herbicides, fungicides, and crop protection chemicals
- Metalworking — Corrosion inhibitor and pH buffer in water-based metalworking fluids and cutting coolants
- Surfactant and detergent production
- Agricultural chemical synthesis
- Textile wet processing
- Photofinishing chemicals
- Carbon capture systems
MEA is corrosive and can cause skin and eye burns on contact. Inhalation of vapour can cause respiratory irritation. Required PPE: chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles, and respiratory protection in enclosed areas. Storage in cool, dry conditions away from strong acids and oxidisers. Full SDS available on request.
