Description

Butylethanolamine ( CAS 111-75-1 ), also known as 2-butylaminoethanol, is a bifunctional amine-alcohol used across industrial formulations where both pH control and surface-active behavior are required. Its dual functional groups make it effective as a corrosion inhibitor, emulsifier, and buffering agent in metalworking, coatings, and textile processing. In metalworking fluids, it neutralizes acidic byproducts. This chemical provides corrosion protection on ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces, extending fluid service life. Coatings formulators incorporate it as a neutralizing amine for waterborne resin systems. It improves dispersion stability and film formation without introducing excessive volatility. In textile and leather processing, it functions as an emulsification aid in lubricating and softening baths. This helps to maintain bath stability across variable process conditions. Adhesive and sealant manufacturers use it to adjust pH during formulation, ensuring compatibility between reactive components. Butylethanolamine is supplied as a clear liquid in drum and IBC quantities, with bulk tanker options available for larger volumes. Technical grade is the standard commercial specification. Purity levels typically range from 98% and above, with certificates of analysis provided against agreed-upon specifications. This ensures consistent performance across various industrial applications. Contact us for supply of Butylethanolamine Request Quote
