MEA is a clear, water-white, and hygroscopic liquid with a mild ammoniacal odor. It serves as a vital chemical intermediate in the production of cosmetics, surface-active agents, emulsifiers, pharmaceuticals, and plasticizing agents. Additionally, it functions as a gas-scrubbing agent for the absorption and removal of H2 and CO2 from refineries and natural gas streams. It also finds use in the manufacturing of carbon dioxide and ammonia.
