Diethanolamine (DEA) is a hygroscopic, colorless to pale yellow liquid. With two hydroxyl groups and one amine group, DEA serves as an intermediate in the production of emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, and synthetic lubricants. It is commonly found in metalworking fluids, textile treatments, and gas treatment applications.
DEA is also used in the formulation of cosmetics and personal care products, such as shampoos and conditioners, due to its emulsifying and buffering properties.
