- Pharmaceutical: It is used in the pharmaceutical industry as a pH adjuster and buffering agent. Ethanolamine oleate, a prescription drug, is a sclerosing agent. It works by creating scar tissue inside a swollen or dilated (wider than normal) vein to prevent bleeding.
- Personal Care: Ethanolamine helps to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified so that water-soluble and oil-soluble ingredients can be blended together. They are also used to control the pH of cosmetics and personal care products.
- Coatings and Construction: It is an important ingredient for wood preservative formulations. It is used to impregnate wood. It is also used to product cement grinding aids and performance enhancers which help in improving the cement quality.
- Others: It helps to remove Hydrogen Sulfide & Carbon Dioxide in Natural Gas & Liquid Gas Streams. Ethanolamines combine the properties of amines and alcohols and exhibit the unique capability of undergoing reactions common to both groups.
