Dimethylethanolamine

N,N-Dimethylethanolamine (DMEA) is a high-purity, colorless to pale yellow liquid tertiary amine, essential as a versatile chemical intermediate and functional additive in various industries. Its molecular structure, featuring both a reactive hydroxyl group and a tertiary amino group, makes it a key component for synthesizing quaternary ammonium compounds for water treatment, acting as a neutralizing agent and co-solvent in waterborne coatings, serving as a catalyst in polyurethane foams, and functioning as a raw material in personal care products. Our high-purity grade ensures consistent performance and reliable reactivity in demanding applications, guaranteeing optimal results for your formulations and processes.
