Ethanolamines Market - Escalating Demand for Surfactants from Personal Care Products Market
Ethanolamines are organic amino alcohol manufactured by the reaction between ethylene oxide and ammonia. Three types of ethanolamines are produced commercially – monoethanolamines (MEA), diethanolamines (DEA), and triethanolamines (TEA). Production of MEA, DEA, and TEA depends on the number of ethylene oxide molecules reacting with single molecule of ammonia. Chemical properties of ethanolamines combine properties of both amines and alcohols. Thus, the versatile chemical features of ethanolamines enable its usage in applications such as surfactants, chemical intermediates, herbicides, gas treatment,...
