Ethanolamines
ETHANOLAMINES, a kind of alkanolamines, chemical compounds that contain both hydroxyl (-OH) and amino (-NH2, -NHR, and -NR2) functional groups on an alkane backbone. As amines, they are mildly alkaline and react with acids to form salts or soaps. As alcohols, they are hygroscopic and can be esterified.
Ethanolamines combine the properties of amines and alcohols, exhibit the unique capability of undergoing reactions common to both groups, which make them useful as intermediates for a wide variety of applications.
Ethanolamines has high tendency to react with many other chemicals. All handlers of solvents must fully understand and observe the "Safety Data Sheet (SDS)" for more specific health and safety information.
