【Chemical Synonyms】
DGA; Diglycolamine; 2-(2-Aminoethoxy)ethanol; Diethylene glycol amine; 2-(2-Aminoethyloxy)ethanol
【CAS No.】
929-06-6
【Molecular Formula】
C₄H₁₁NO₂
【Molecular Weight】
105.14 g/mol
【Product properties】
Diglycolamine (DGA) is a colorless or light yellow transparent liquid with low volatility and excellent solubility in water and polar solvents. Thanks to its high purity (≥99.7%) and ultra-low impurity level, DGA offers reliable and consistent performance across demanding applications. Its low solvency towards copper, aluminum, and cobalt makes it particularly valuable in metalworking environments.
【Storage】
Diglycolamine (DGA) should be stored in tightly sealed containers, kept in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, protected from moisture, strong oxidizers, and acids to preserve its high purity and stability.
【Packing】
Supplied in steel drums with net weight 200 kg; 1000 kg IBC totes also available. Customized packaging can be arranged upon request to meet specific customer needs.
【Application】
Diglycolamine (DGA) is a high-performance aminoether alcohol with broad industrial utility:
Metalworking fluids – DGA exhibits no evaporation loss and shows low leaching towards copper, aluminum, and cobalt, making it an ideal component in cutting fluid formulations.
Acid gas absorption – As a desulfurization agent, DGA demonstrates superior performance even under extremely cold conditions, making it especially suitable for hot, water-scarce, and desert regions.
Surfactants & wetting agents – DGA serves as an effective building block for specialty surfactants and wetting agents.
Polymer intermediates – DGA is used as a raw material in the synthesis of various polymers and organic compounds.
