Description

Tert-butyldiethanolamine (CAS 2160-93-2 ) is a tertiary amine-diol used across industrial formulations for pH regulation, corrosion inhibition, and as a reactive or functional solvent. Its combination of amine and hydroxyl functionality makes it a practical building block and performance additive in specialty chemical systems. In metalworking fluids and lubricants, it functions as a corrosion inhibitor. It acts as a pH buffer, helping to extend fluid service life and protect ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces. Coatings formulators incorporate it as a neutralizing agent for acid-functional resins. This improves dispersion stability in waterborne systems. Water treatment formulations use it to maintain alkalinity control and inhibit metal corrosion in recirculating and process water circuits. In adhesives, sealants, and elastomer systems, it acts as a reactive component or cure modifier where controlled basicity is required. This versatility makes it essential for high-performance industrial applications. Tert-butyldiethanolamine is supplied as a liquid at ambient conditions. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with purity levels typically at 98% or higher depending on supplier specification. Packaging ranges from drums to intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) for industrial procurement volumes. This ensures safe handling and efficient logistics for large-scale manufacturing and chemical processing. Contact us for supply of tert-butyldiethanolamine Request Quote
