MONOETHANOLAMINE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Monoethanolamine, commonly abbreviated as MEA and identified by the formula C2H7NO, is an organic compound widely used as a raw material in the manufacture of surfactants, detergents, herbicides, and pharmaceutical intermediates. It is also commonly used in gas treatment systems to remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from natural gas streams. In industrial equipment handling MEA, compatibility with O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components should be evaluated to prevent swelling or degradation. Proper storage, ventilation, safe handling procedures, and appropriate PPE are recommended to ensure safe operation.
