Ethanolamine is an organic compound with the chemical formula C2H7NO. It is a colorless and viscous liquid with a characteristic odor. Ethanolamine is a common surfactant, and is frequently used in soaps and cleaning agents. It is also a reactant in the production of various detergents, lubricants, and corrosion inhibitors.

Ethanolamine is a primary, secondary, or tertiary amine, depending on the degree of substitution of the hydroxyl group. Its CAS number is 16919-73-6. It is derived from ethylene oxide and ammonia, and occurs naturally in small amounts in certain plants, animals, and foods.

Ethanolamine is used in a variety of industrial processes, including in the production of emulsifiers, detergents, corrosion inhibitors, and as a neutralizing agent in the manufacture of drugs, cosmetics, explosives, and other chemical products. It is also used as a solvent in pharmaceutical, textile, and petroleum industries.

Ethanolamine is also used in the manufacture of medical imaging devices, such as MRI machines. It is also used in the production of contact lenses, and as an ingredient in the manufacture of some adhesives and sealants. In addition, ethanolamine is used in the synthesis of surfactants, surfactants, and flame retardants.

Ethanolamine is a hazardous substance, and can cause skin irritation, eye irritation, and respiratory irritation when exposed to humans at high concentrations. It can also cause a decrease in the blood's clotting ability, and can be toxic if inhaled or ingested. Therefore, it is important to use proper protective equipment when handling ethanolamine and to dispose of it properly after use.
