Diethanolisopropanolamine

Diethanolisopropanolamine (CAS 6712-98-7), abbreviated DEIPA, is a tertiary alkanolamine combining hydroxyl and amine functionality in one molecule.

Where is Diethanolisopropanolamine used?

• Cement and concrete grinding aids: improves particle dispersion
• Clinker processing: enhances mill efficiency and cuts energy consumption
• Metalworking fluids: corrosion inhibitor and pH buffer that extends service life and protects ferrous and non-ferrous surfaces
• Personal care lotions and creams: neutralizes acidic polymers and, with fatty acids, stabilizes emulsions and adjusts final pH
• Water treatment: chelating agent that sequesters hardness ions and prevents scale deposition in industrial cooling systems
• It also serves as a pH regulator and dispersing agent in industrial and personal care formulations.

Good to know: No food or pharmaceutical grades are recognized.

Commercial specifications

• Typically 85% and 100% active concentrations
• Bulk liquid supply in drums, IBCs, and isotanks
