MEA (ETHANOLAMINE) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics
Ethanolamine (MEA) is a colorless, viscous liquid with the chemical formula C₂H₇NO, used in various industrial and consumer applications. It is primarily employed as a surfactant in detergents and cleaning agents, a corrosion inhibitor in metalworking fluids, and as a gas scrubbing agent in natural gas processing. Ethanolamine is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and agricultural chemicals. Despite its utility, ethanolamine can cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation if not handled properly. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to ensure safe usage and prevent exposure.
