Aminoethylethanolamine (AEEA)
A dual-functional hybrid amine: AEEA carries both a free primary amine and a hydroxyl group on the same four-carbon backbone, making it a versatile organic base for fuel and oil additives, chelating agents, and surfactants.
Chelora Chemicals supplies aminoethylethanolamine to fuel-additive, lubricant and chelating-agent manufacturers worldwide, with full technical documentation on every consignment.

What Aminoethylethanolamine is used for
Aminoethylethanolamine (AEEA) sits at the junction of two amine families: one end of the molecule looks like an ethanolamine (secondary amine, hydroxyl group), the other end looks like an ethyleneamine (free primary amine). This dual functionality on a compact four-carbon backbone is what gives AEEA its reach.
AEEA is used as an organic base in manufacturing fuel and oil additives, chelating agents, and surfactants. The free primary amine provides a reactive handle for forming amides, imidazolines and chelating structures, while the hydroxyl group moderates polarity and solubility in the finished additive or surfactant.
Where it sits among the hybrid amines
- Monoethanolamine one hydroxyl, one amine, no second amine group. See that page.
- Aminoethylethanolamine (this product) one hydroxyl, two amine groups (one secondary, one primary) — hybrid reactivity.
- Diethanolamine two hydroxyls, one secondary amine, no free primary amine. See that page.
Appearance and handling character
AEEA carries a flash point of 132 °C and an NFPA 704 rating of 2-1-0 (moderate health hazard, slight flammability, stable) — a comparatively moderate profile that still calls for standard primary/secondary-amine handling precautions.

How we supply Aminoethylethanolamine
Chelora Chemicals is a supplier and sourcing partner, not a manufacturer. AEEA's role as a reactive intermediate means purity and consistent amine content matter more than almost anything else on this line.
We place your order with whichever qualified producer best matches your required grade, your price point and your delivery window.
We keep a second qualified source on this line, so a single-plant disruption never becomes your production problem.
- Assay and amine content confirmed before we quote. Downstream additive and chelating-agent chemistry is sensitive to purity.
- Grade matched to end use. Fuel-additive, lubricant and surfactant specifications are confirmed before booking.
- Documentation filed correctly. Every shipment carries correct, confirmed hazard and handling declarations.
- Scheduled call-off scheduling. We hold contracted tonnage and release it against your consumption calendar.
- Batch traceability to the producing plant. Full chain of custody documentation on request.
- Export machinery handled in-house. Classification, approved packing, labelling, freight booking and customs paperwork are ours to manage.

A moderate hazard profile, handled with standard amine care
AEEA's NFPA rating of 2-1-0 points to a moderate health hazard with only slight flammability. The summary below is orientation only — the safety data sheet supplied with your specific batch is the authoritative document.
Handling precautions
HEALTH 2Moderate health hazard — avoid skin, eye and respiratory exposure.FLAM 1Slight flammability; flash point 132 °C, autoignition 368 °C.PPEChemical-resistant gloves and splash goggles recommended, as for other reactive amines.
Always read the SDS issued with your specific batch. Treat as a primary/secondary amine for skin and eye protection purposes.
Storage
Store in tightly closed containers away from strong oxidizers and heat sources, given its 132 °C flash point.
Handling
Use standard industrial hygiene — gloves, splash goggles, adequate ventilation — consistent with other primary/secondary amines in this range.
Transport
We confirm and document the exact transport classification for your specific shipment and destination.
Every batch, documented
We verify documentation before dispatch so there are no surprises at your incoming-goods bench.
Specification agreed
Assay and amine content confirmed against your process requirement before order placement.
Producer batch testing
The producing plant tests each batch against the agreed specification before release.
Documentation review
COA, SDS and transport paperwork checked by our desk before the shipment is booked.

How aminoethylethanolamine is made
Aminoethylethanolamine is produced industrially by the reaction of ethylenediamine with ethylene oxide (or related ethanolamine/ethyleneamine condensation routes), giving the hybrid hydroxyl/diamine structure, followed by purification and fractional distillation.
We do not publish operating process parameters here; this is background only. Full technical and safety documentation accompanies every shipment, and any process-specific detail you need is best confirmed directly with our technical desk.
| Chemical family | Hybrid ethanolamine / ethyleneamine |
|---|---|
| Functional groups | One hydroxyl, one secondary amine, one primary amine |
| Reactivity | Free primary amine drives amide/imidazoline/chelate formation |
| Related compound family | Ethylenediamine (free-amine relative) |
