MONOETHANOLAMINE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Monoethanolamine (MEA) is an organic chemical compound used as a raw material in the production of various industrial and consumer products. It is commonly employed in the manufacture of surfactants, detergents, herbicides, and pharmaceuticals. Monoethanolamine is also used as a gas treatment agent for removing carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from natural gas and other gases. Its versatility and reactivity make it valuable in numerous applications. Proper handling and storage of monoethanolamine are essential to prevent exposure and contamination. Safety measures should include the use of personal protective equipment, proper ventilation, and adherence to manufacturer guidelines. Regular monitoring and maintenance of processes using monoethanolamine ensure optimal performance and safety, making it a critical component in the production of various industrial and consumer products.
