Ethanolamine (2-aminoethanol, monoethanolamine, ETA, or MEA) is an organic chemical compound with the formula HOCH
2CH2NH2 or C2H7NO. The molecule is bifunctional, containing both a primary amine and a primary alcohol. Ethanolamine is a colorless, viscous liquid with an odor reminiscent of ammonia. ETA molecules are a component in the formation of cellular membranes and are thus a molecular building block for life. It was thought to exist only on Earth and on certain asteroids, but in 2021 evidence was found that ETA molecules exist in interstellar space.
Ethanolamine is also known as "aminoethanol". Chemical formula HOCH2CH2NH2. The molecular weight is 61.08. Colorless viscous liquid. Easy to absorb moisture and smell of ammonia. The specific gravity is 1.0117 (25/4°C). The melting point is 10.3°C. The boiling point is 170.8°C. The refractive index is 1.4539. It is miscible with water, methanol and acetone, slightly soluble in benzene, ether, and slightly soluble in n-pentane. It is strongly alkaline, dissociation constant K=3.39×10-Chemicalbook10 (25ºC); 25% aqueous solution has a pH of 12.1, which can absorb carbon dioxide in the air. Its hydrochloride is a hygroscopic crystal with a melting point of 75-77°C. Industrially produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide and ammonia. Ethanolamine is an important chemical raw material used to make medicines, fragrances, surfactants, paints, emulsifiers, etc. It is also a leather softener and pesticide dispersant; it can also be used for gas purification to remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in the gas.

Mainly used as plasticizers, vulcanizing agents, accelerators and foaming agents for synthetic resins and rubbers, as well as intermediates for pesticides, medicines and dyes. It is also a raw material for synthetic detergents and cosmetic emulsifiers. In the textile industry, it is used as a whitening agent, antistatic agent, mothproofing agent, and detergent for printing and dyeing. It can also be used as carbon dioxide absorbent, printing ink auxiliary, petroleum additive.
Applications
Ethanolamine is commonly called monoethanolamine or MEA in order to be distinguished from diethanolamine (DEA) and triethanolamine (TEA). It is used as feedstock in the production of detergents, emulsifiers, polishes, pharmaceuticals, corrosion inhibitors, and chemical intermediates.
