APPLICATIONS

• Surfactants
• Textile additives
• Urethane chemicals
N-(2-Aminoethyl)ethanolamine (AEEA) is member from the class of Ethyleneamines and is used in a broad array of applications
Cleaning
N-(2-Aminoethyl)ethanolamin (AEEA) is mainly used as building block for fabric softeners/surfactants, which make the textiles less harsh, “softer” or more pleasing to the touch.
Coatings
For production of latex paints N-(2-Aminoethyl)ethanolamine (AEEA) acts as intermediate to form an adhesion monomer, which increases adhesion under damp conditions (wet adhesion).
Additionally, via the pendent amino and hydroxy functionalities, AEEA is used in urethane systems
Fuels and Lubricants
AEEA is used in the production of chlorinated polybutene based fuel additives as a dispersant-detergent additive.
Other
N-(2-Aminoethyl)ethanolamine (AEEA) is formulated as an intermediate to form polycarboxylic acids and their salts, and chelating agents.
In several additional applications N-(2-Aminoethyl)ethanolamine (AEEA) is used as building block for synthesis.
AEEA does not occur naturally in the environment.
AEEA can be used as a chemical intermediate, a component of adhesives and sealants used in asphalt paving or patching, a curing agent for epoxy resins, in building products with mainly commercial applications, a component in super glue, and a component of corrosion inhibitors and lubricant additives.
As a chemical intermediate, AEEA is used to manufacture surfactants which in turn have applications as industrial detergents and in consumer products such as cosmetics.
AEEA is used as a component in food-packaging adhesives and inks with no direct contact with food, and as a component of an agent used in the paper manufacturing process.
AEEA is also used as a component in additives for closed recirculating cooling systems where the water treated will not come into direct contact with food.
AEEA is characterized by moderate vapor pressure, a very low Henry’s Law constant, and very low log Koc and logs Kow values.
AEEA is miscible in water.
Monitoring data on AEEA in the Canadian environment have not been identified.
AEEA has a short half-life in air, and it is not expected to be present in the atmosphere.
AEEA is readily biodegradable in water and it is not expected to remain in soil or sediments for prolonged periods of time.
Based on the available empirical and modelled evidence, AEEA is expected to have a limited persistence in air, water, soil and sediments.
AEEA has a low bioaccumulation potential.
AEEA is imported as a minor component in products or mixtures that are used in industrial, commercial, or consumer applications.
Many of these products undergo curing.
The potential for AEEA releases into the environment from these cured products as well as from AEEA applications in asphalt cement is not expected to be significant.
AEEA can also be a minor constituent of imported solid products in building materials, but with very limited potential for releases.
The main source of release of AEEA is expected to occur from industrial uses of the pure substance as a chemical intermediate.
AEEA is assumed to be chemically converted during industrial processes, and it is expected that it no longer exists in its parent form.
The only quantitative scenario considered was based on the disposal of unreacted residual AEEA from the cleaning of empty transport and processing containers.
Based on this scenario, and using conservative assumptions, exposure to organisms in the environment would be below levels expected to cause harm.
Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this Screening Assessment, there is low risk of harm to organisms and the broader integrity of the environment from AEEA.
The substance Ethanol, 2-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]-, (CAS RN 111-41-1), hereinafter referred to by its acronym AEEA, is a simple organic chemical that belongs to the class of organic substances known as ethanolamines.
Models based on quantitative structure-activity relationships were used to generate data for some of the physical and chemical properties of AEEA.
These models are mainly based on fragment addition methods, i.e., they sum the contributions of sub-structural fragments of a molecule to make predictions for a property or endpoint.
Most of these models rely on the neutral form of AEEA as input.
Nonetheless, the modeled physical and chemical properties are considered relevant and predictive of its fate in the environment.
Some AEEA is expected to be present in its neutral form at environmentally relevant pH.
In addition, when ionized, AEEA behaves as a base.
AEEA exposure concentrations of less than or equal to 250 mg/L had no effect on pH levels of aqueous test solutions.
At room temperature, AEEA is a colorless to pale yellow liquid, and it has a mild ammonia odor.
Generally, a very good correlation was found between the available empirical physical and chemical property values and the modeled values.
AEEA has a moderate vapor pressure (less than or equal to 1 to 1.3 Pa at room temperature); Sax’s 2012) and a very low modeled Henry’s Law constant (HLC) of 10-10 to 10-8 Pa·m3/mol (EPI Suite 2012).
The empirical and modeled log Kow values for AEEA were determined to be negligible, at -2.13 to -1.37 (European Commission 2000; EPI Suite 2012; ACD/Percepta c1997-2012).
The modeled log D values varied with pH and were found to be in the range of -4.46 to -3.26 for pH 6.5–8.0, respectively.
The modelled log Koc values were very low, at 0.42 (based on the MCI method) and -0.359 (based on the Kow method) (EPI Suite 2012).
AEEA is completely miscible in water.
Lastly, the modeled pKa of the ammonium ion suggests that AEEA is an ionizing substance that is likely to exist primarily in either the 1+ or 2+ ionized form at a pH lower than approximately 9 .
In Europe, AEEA is used in the production of polyurethane and hardeners for epoxy resins.
In Switzerland, AEEA is reported as a constituent of soldering flux.
In Japan, AEEA is primarily used as a chemical intermediate to produce surfactants and waxes for consumer uses.
Additional uses of AEEA identified by other jurisdictions include its application as an additive in textiles, fuel, 2,4-D-based herbicide salts, oils used in metal cutting, gas processing chemicals, resins, rubber products, insecticides, and certain medicinal soaps.
Most of the AEEA imported into Canada is used as a chemical intermediate, a curing agent for epoxy resins, used in commercial building products, and as a component of adhesives and sealants used in asphalt paving or patching.
AEEA may also be present in some epoxy adhesives, or superglues, used for small-scale repairs or hobbies.
AEEA can also be found as a component of corrosion inhibitors, lubricant additives, as a component of pigments used in fibers (e.g., carpets).
AEEA can also be a minor constituent of solid products in building materials, with very limited potential for release.
Furthermore, in Canada, AEEA is used as a component in food-packaging adhesives and inks with no direct contact with food, and as a component of an agent used in the paper manufacturing process.
AEEA is also used as a component in additives for closed recirculating cooling systems where the treated water will not come into direct contact with food.
Based on notifications submitted under the Cosmetic Regulations to Health Canada, AEEA is not used in cosmetic products in Canada.
AEEA is not listed in the Drug Product Database, the Therapeutic Products Directorate’s internal Non-Medicinal Ingredients Database, the Natural Health Products Ingredients Database, or the Licensed Natural Health Products Database as a medicinal or non-medicinal ingredient present in final pharmaceutical products, natural health products, or veterinary drugs.
Lastly, AEEA is a component of formulants that are used in four herbicides classified as commercial-use products by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency.

Aminoethylethanolamine (AEEA) is an organic compound mainly used as a reactive
intermediate (i.e., building block) to produce chemical products for a wide range of applications.
Examples of such applications are fuel and lubricants, and fabric softeners.
Manufacturing
Huntsman manufactures aminoethylethanolamine by exothermic reaction in a tubular reactor.
This process consists of the reaction of ethylene oxide (EO) and an excess of ethylenediamine (EDA), followed by a refining system.
The excess EDA is separated from the AEEA under vacuum in the first separation column, then the AEEA (light key) is separated from heavier byproducts (known collectively as organic amine 70, or OA-70) in the second column.
