N-(2-Aminoethyl)ethanolamine

N-(2-Aminoethyl)ethanolamine (AEEA) is member from the class of Ethyleneamines and is used in a broad array of applications.

General

Cleaning
N-(2-Aminoethyl)ethanolamin (AEEA) is mainly used as building block for fabric softeners/surfactants, which make the textiles less harsh, “softer” or more pleasing to the touch.

Coatings
For production of latex paints N-(2-Aminoethyl)ethanolamine (AEEA) acts as intermediate to form an adhesion monomer, which increases adhesion under damp conditions (wet adhesion).
Additionally, via the pendent amino and hydroxy functionalities, AEEA is used in urethane systems.

Fuels and Lubricants
AEEA is used in the production of chlorinated polybutene based fuel additives as a dispersant-detergent additive.

Other
N-(2-Aminoethyl)ethanolamine (AEEA) is formulated as an intermediate to form polycarboxylic acids and their salts, and chelating agents.
In several additional applications N-(2-Aminoethyl)ethanolamine (AEEA) is used as building block for synthesis.
