Monoethanolamine (MEA)
The chemical formula for Monoethanolamine, an organic molecule, is C2H7NO. It is a colorless, adhesive liquid with an ammonia-like odor. It combines the characteristics of an amine and an alcohol, making it adaptable to a variety of conditions. It originates from the ammonia and ethylene oxide synthesis. It is derived from the reaction between ammonia and ethylene oxide. At room temperature, this material has low volatility and is hygroscopic. It can manifest in either solid or liquid form, contingent upon temperature and purity grade.
Exporting MEA to various countries with the best price has been one of the achievements of Petro Nour Mehr Company in recent years.

Analysis of Monoethanolamine (MEA) from Shazand Arak Petrochemical
The analysis of MEA by Shazand Arak Petrochemical is provided in the table below:
This material is usually synthesized in factories and industrial laboratories due to its low quantity and difficulties in obtaining it from natural sources.
Also, it is an organic chemical molecule that can be found as lipids in nature. But extracting it from natural sources is costly and time-consuming. Moreover, monoethanolamine which originates from natural sources is impure, and its impurities could cause problems in certain sectors.
As a result, this material is typically made industrially. In the production process, aqueous ammonia is used to purify ethylene oxide. MEA, DEA, and TEA are the three distinct chemicals that are produced in this process. The ratio of input materials needs to be correctly set to guarantee a bigger quantity of this chemical material in comparison to the other two compounds.

Cleaning Agents:
Monoethanolamine is a chemical compound used in the formulation of cleaning agents. It serves as a surfactant in laundry and dishwashing detergents, degreasers, and multipurpose cleaners. Additionally, MEA can be utilized in car wash shampoos, industrial degreasers, wax removers, and related products as a neutralizing or corrosion inhibitor.
Agricultural Chemicals:
This chemical compound finds diverse applications in the agricultural industry. It can act as a neutralizing agent for anionic emulsifiers used in the formulation of some herbicides.
Gas Purification:
In the purification of industrial gases, these substances can separate carbon dioxide from natural gas and residual oil gas. Monoethanolamine is a type of ethanolamines used as a selective absorbent for carbon dioxide in gas systems. Additionally, it plays a role in the production of liquid ammonia and carbon dioxide and enables the recovery of these substances when necessary.
Other Uses:
This chemical compound is involved in the synthesis of alkanoalamides. It reacts with fatty acids or coconut oil to produce products with various properties. These products have applications in various industries such as detergents, lubricating oils, personal care and hygiene products, mineral flotation, and more. Additionally, it can be used in the production of other materials such as adhesives, gums, latex, photography developers, rubber vulcanization accelerators, corrosion inhibitors, pH controllers, synthetic intermediates, varnishes, paints, waxes, polish wetting agents, polymerizers, and polyurethane resin catalysts.
MEA is sensitive to moisture and should be stored in ventilated tanks with nitrogen gas. This practice prevents the product from absorbing water and changing its color. We recommend storing this material in stainless steel tanks, preferably of 316 or 304 type, equipped with water or steam heating coils. These coils can maintain the product temperature above its freezing point.
Lastly, it’s critical to make sure the area is free of flammable materials before storing such materials for an extended period of time. For the storage of this material, dry, cool warehouses with sufficient ventilation are appropriate.
MEA is exported in bulk, Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), and 220-liter plastic drums.
This material is able to be stored in sealed containers. Make use of packaging that avoids leaks, lets air in, and keeps the chemical from evaporating. Additionally, the containers need to be able to withstand damage during transit. Make that the area where it is stored in warehouses is free of flammable items. It needs to be kept in cool, dry warehouses with good ventilation.
How can I purchase MEA?
Before purchasing MEA, it is essential to become acquainted with the properties and uses of this chemical substance. This material is utilized in the manufacturing of detergents, medicines, cosmetics and personal hygiene items, and polyurethane. To purchase this high-quality substance, consider the following:
