【Product properties】
Diisopropanolamine (DIPA) is a white or slightly yellowish solid at room temperature, with excellent water solubility and good alkaline properties. With a high purity of ≥99.7% and minimal impurities, DIPA ensures reliable and consistent performance across a wide range of industrial applications. It also exhibits good emulsifying and wetting characteristics.

【Storage】
Diisopropanolamine (DIPA) should be stored in tightly sealed containers, kept in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, protected from moisture, strong acids, and oxidizing agents. Avoid excessive heat to maintain product integrity.

【Packing】
Available in 200 kg net steel drums, 1000 kg IBC totes, as well as ISO TANK and tank truck transportation to accommodate various logistics requirements.

【Application】
Diisopropanolamine (DIPA) is a versatile secondary amine with broad industrial utility:

• Gas treatment – DIPA is widely used for the removal of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) from natural gas and refinery gases, offering effective acid gas absorption.

• Surfactants – DIPA serves as a surfactant to regulate interfacial tension, and also functions as an excellent emulsifier and wetting agent.

• Fiber processing – DIPA is used as a processing aid in fiber manufacturing.

• Metalworking fluids – DIPA is incorporated into metalworking fluid formulations for enhanced performance.

• Resin & coatings – DIPA acts as a neutralizing agent for resins, a pigment dispersant, and a neutralizer for electrophoretic coatings (electrocoating).

【Product Specification】

• Diisopropanolamine (DIPA) content ≥ 99.7%
