Mono Ethanol Amine
Whatsapp Order
Mono Ethanol Amine (MEA) is a clear, colorless, hygroscopic liquid with an ammonia-like odor. It is an organic chemical compound combining both amine and alcohol functional groups. MEA is widely used as a versatile chemical intermediate and is especially important in gas treatment, detergents, and chemical manufacturing due to its alkalinity and solubility in water and organic solvents.
