DIETHANOLAMINE (DEA) is a clear, colorless, and hygroscopic liquid with a mild ammoniacal odor at higher temperatures, transitioning to a white, crystalline solid at room temperature. It serves as a versatile intermediate in cosmetics, textile specialty surface-active agents, herbicides, and petroleum demulsifiers. Additionally, DEA finds essential roles in gas scrubbing for refinery and natural gas operations, as well as emulsifiers for waxes, polishes, coatings, soluble oils, and corrosion inhibitors.
