Monoethanolamine (MEA)belongs to the class of ethanolamines, with both primary amine and hydroxyl functionality. Monoethanolamine (MEA)is used as a building block,ph-control agent as well as a dilution agent. MEA is also used as a pH control agent in the formulation of packaging and printing inks.oduct quality and reducing costs.
Monoethanolamine, also known as MEA, is an ethanolamine compound containing both a primary amine group and a hydroxyl group. It is a clear, colorless liquid with good miscibility in water and many organic solvents, and is widely used in surfactants, gas treatment, metalworking fluids, chemical intermediates and other industrial systems.
Dotachem supplies industrial-grade Monoethanolamine with MEA content ≥99.5%, low diethanolamine content, low color and controlled water content. With stable quality specifications and export supply experience, Dotachem can provide MEA for manufacturers that need reliable raw materials for continuous production and formulation use.

Dotachem MEA Specifications and Performance Benefits
1. High MEA Content for Stable Formulation Use
Dotachem supplies Monoethanolamine with MEA content ≥99.5%, helping customers maintain more consistent dosage, reaction performance and formulation results in continuous production.
2. Low Diethanolamine Content to Support Purity Control
Controlled diethanolamine content helps reduce unwanted secondary amine influence in downstream systems. This is important for customers using MEA in surfactant synthesis, gas treatment and chemical intermediate production.
3. Low Color for Cleaner End-Product Appearance
With low color specification, MEA is suitable for applications where appearance, transparency or final product color matters, such as cleaning formulations, inks and selected chemical systems.
4. Controlled Water Content for Processing Stability
Lower and controlled water content helps reduce formulation fluctuation during storage, handling and production. This is especially useful for customers who need stable raw material input in repeated batches.
5. Good Solubility for Easier Formulation Processing
MEA is miscible with water and many organic solvents, making it easier to introduce into different industrial systems. This helps improve processing convenience in surfactants, metalworking fluids and pH adjustment formulations.
6. Versatile Reactivity for Downstream Chemical Production
Because MEA contains both amine and hydroxyl groups, it can be used in neutralization, reaction and intermediate synthesis. This gives manufacturers more flexibility when using MEA in surfactants, additives and other downstream chemical products.
Applications
Chemical intermediates and polymer additives:
Used as a raw material in downstream chemical synthesis and polymer additive systems.
Oil and gas:
Applied in selected gas treatment and oilfield chemical systems.
Personal care and cosmetics:
Used in formulations where pH adjustment or amine-based functionality is required.
Pharmaceutical industry:
Used as a chemical intermediate in selected pharmaceutical-related synthesis processes.
Pesticide additives and stabilizers:
Helps support formulation adjustment and stability in pesticide systems.
Metalworking fluids:
Used as an amine component for pH control, corrosion inhibition support and formulation stability.
Building materials:
