General Description
A colorless liquid with a faint fishlike odor. Combustible but difficult to ignite. Corrosive to tissue. Combustion produces toxic oxides of nitrogen.
Reactivity Profile
2-(2-AMINOETHOXY) ETHANOL is an aminoalcohol. Neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble.
Health Hazard
TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.
Potential Exposure
Used to remove gases from natural gas; in coatings in plastics; textiles, fibers, and metals; and in making other chemicals.
Fire Hazard
Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Some are oxidizers and may ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated.
First aid
Move victim to fresh air. Call 911 or emergency medical service. Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-wayvalve or other proper respiratory medical device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. For minor skin contact, avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. Keep victim warm and quiet. Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves. Medical observation is recommended for 24 to 48 hours after breathing overexposure, as pulmonary edema may be delayed. As first aid for pulmonary edema, a doctor or authorized paramedic may consider administering a drug or other inhalation therapy.
Shipping
UN3055 2-(2-Aminoethoxy) ethanol, Hazard class: 8; Labels: 8-Corrosive material
Incompatibilities
Reacts with oxidizers, strong acids; and chemically active metals, such as potassium, sodium, magnesium and zinc.
Description
Amino-PEG2-alcohol is a short PEG linker containing an amino group with a hydroxyl group. The amino (NH2) group is reactive with activated NHS esters, carbonyls (ketone, aldehyde) etc.
Chemical Properties
2-(2-Aminoethoxy)ethanol is a combustible, colorless to light yellow, thick liquid. Fishy odor
Chemical Properties
colourless to faintly yellow liquid
Uses
2-(2-Aminoethoxy)ethanol is used mainly in stripper solutions for applications in electronics, in gas treating to remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, and in coolants/lubricants for metal working applications. Other applications of aminoethoxyethanol (ADG) include, inter alia, crop protection products, surfactants and colorants. It is also used as a selective solvent for recovery of aromatics from refinery streams and in preparation of foam stabilizers, wetting and emulsifying agents.
Flammability and Explosibility
Notclassified
Toxics Screening Level
The initial threshold screening level for diglycol amine (CAS# 929-06-6) is 9 μg/m3 (8-hour averaging time).
