The CAS number of Mono Ethanol Amine (MEA) is 141-43-5 and its HSN code is 2922 11 00. Both appear on our TDS (document SPC-TDS-AMN-002) and MSDS, available for download on this page.

What is the specification of industrial grade monoethanolamine 99.5%?

Our MEA is Industrial Grade: monoethanolamine 99.5–100.0% wt, diethanolamine 0.2% max, water 0.3% max, colour 15 max Pt-Co, supplied as a clear liquid. Values are per the manufacturer's certificate of analysis from PETRONAS.

Is monoethanolamine flammable or combustible?

MEA is classified as combustible, not flammable. It causes severe skin burns and eye damage and is hygroscopic, so store it sealed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from acids and oxidisers, and wear gloves and eye protection when handling.

What is the difference between MEA, DEA and TEA?

MEA (Mono Ethanol Amine, CAS 141-43-5), DEA (Di Ethanol Amine, CAS 111-42-2) and TEA (Tri Ethanol Amine, CAS 102-71-6) are the three ethanolamines, carrying one, two and three hydroxyethyl groups respectively. We stock all three in Chennai, including TEA in 85% and 99% grades.

Where can I buy monoethanolamine in Chennai, and in what packaging?
