| General description: | Ethanolamine is a colourless organic compound. It is a strong base and is miscible in water, alcohol, carbon tetrachloride and chloroform. It is highly toxic in nature and is a strong irritant. It is derived from ethylene oxide reacting with ammonia forming mono-, di-, and triethanolamine. It is widely used in manufacturing detergents when reacting with fatty acid. It is most commonly used a corrosion inhibitor. |
