Amines are organic compounds widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, in medications, personal care products, gas treatment, cement production, chemicals for crop protection, personal care products, and more. Amines distributed by Third Coast Chemicals include monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine.
Monoethanolamine (MEA)
Monoethanolamine (MEA) is a versatile ethanolamine, vital in multiple industries for its varied applications. This colorless liquid, known for its mild ammonia odor, plays a pivotal role in sweetening natural and coal gas. It serves as a key component in heavy-duty detergents, acting as soap or amides. MEA finds use as a feedstock in the production of ethylene amines, pharmaceutical formulations, cosmetics as a pH regulator, and more. It also acts as a softening agent for hides, a dispersing agent for agricultural chemicals, and is used in polishes, and the synthesis of surface-active agents.
MEA Can Be Used In Many Industries Such As
- Agrochemicals
- Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants & Elastomers
- Energy, Oil & Gas Industry
- Homecare & Industrial Cleaning Industry
- Health & Beauty Industry
- Lubricants & Metal Working Fluids
- Textile Industry
- Water Treatment
- Wood Treating
Diethanolamine (DEA)
Diethanolamine (DEA) is a unique compound possessing both alcohol and amine characteristics. Widely utilized across various industries, DEA serves as a building block for triazine-based corrosion inhibitors, as a key anti-redeposition agent in laundry detergents, personal care products, urethane foams, and plays a crucial role in the manufacturing of diverse amine compounds. DEA is also crucial for acid neutralization and soil deposition.
DEA Can Be Used In Many Industries Such As
- Agrochemicals
- Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants & Elastomers
- Energy, Oil & Gas
- Homecare & Industrial Cleaning
- Health & Beauty
- Lubricants & Metal Working Fluids
Triethanolamine (TEA)
Triethanolamine (TEA) is a colorless to yellow liquid, completely soluble in water, with an ammonia-like smell. TEA is a bifunctional compound, exhibiting properties of both alcohols and amines. Serving as a building block for triazine-based corrosion inhibitors, TEA is commonly used as a metalworking fluid and is found in oils, fuels, paints, inks, cement, and more. TEA acts as a pH adjuster in skin and hair conditioning products, fragrances, sunscreens, liquid laundry detergents, polishes, and paints, and serves as an intermediate in the production of various other products. Triethanolamine is a coating ingredient for fresh fruit and vegetables and is widely used in surfactants and as a dispersing ingredient and detergent in hand and body lotions, shaving creams, soaps, shampoos, and bath powders.
TEA Can Be Used In Many Industries Such As
- Agrochemicals
- Cutting & Metalworking
- Energy, Oil & Gas
- Fabric, textile, and leather products
- Food Industry
- Homecare & Industrial Cleaning
- Health, Beauty, Cosmetics & Pharmaceuticals
- Paints and Inks
- Sealants & Elastomers
- Urethane Foams, Foam Seating & Bedding
