Hydroxyethyl ethylenediamine - Properties
N-(2-hydroxyethyl) ethylenediamine, also known as 2-(2-aminoethoxy) ethanolamine, is an organic compound.
N-(2-hydroxyethyl) ethylenediamine is a colorless liquid that at room temperature presents an ammonia taste similar to that of amines. It has two amino groups and one hydroxyl functional group, which has both the alkalinity of amine compounds and the hydrophilic properties of alcohol compounds.
N-(2-hydroxyethyl) ethylenediamine is an alkaline compound that can undergo acid-base neutralization reactions with acids. It can form salts or coordination compounds, can react neutrally with acidic substances, and has the ability to buffer the pH value of the solution.
N-(2-hydroxyethyl) ethylenediamine also has good solubility. It is miscible with water and many organic solvents such as alcohols and ethers, and is also soluble in many non-polar solvents at low temperatures.Used for the production of dyes, resins, rubber, flotation agents, pesticides, surfactants, the preparation of corrosion inhibitor 1017 for petrochemical production. The product is an excellent low-toxicity curing agent for epoxy resin at room temperature, which is obviously superior to ethylenediamine. Used with epoxy resin, it is widely used for bonding various metal and non-metal parts, preparing anti-corrosion epoxy coatings, casting cable joints and other mechanical and electrical parts.
