Description
2-(tert-Butylamino)ethanol (CAS 4620-70-6, EC 225-034-5) is a secondary amino alcohol also identified under the names N-tert-butylethanolamine, NSC 78430, and AKOS BC-1247. It carries no assigned E-code and belongs to the aliphatic amine class with the molecular formula C6H15NO.
In water treatment and metalworking fluids, it functions as a pH buffer and corrosion inhibitor by neutralising acidic species and forming a protective coordination layer on metal surfaces. In coatings and adhesive formulations, it acts as a reactive amine component and carrier solvent, improving resin compatibility and controlling cure chemistry.
This material is supplied under REACH registration and handled in accordance with standard industrial amine protocols. Typical commercial grades are available for industrial and specialty formulation use, with packaging in drums and IBCs to suit procurement volumes. Buyers should confirm specification sheets for purity and water content prior to formulation.
