Ethanol- and Ethyleneamines

BASF is one of the leading producers in ethanolamines and ethyleneamines

  • Monoethanolamine, diethanolamine and triethanolamine are major components to ethanolamine applications like personal care products, agrochemicals or construction.
  • Ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine and piperazine are examples of ethyleneamines as key raw materials for agrochemicals, the detergent or pharma industry.
  • Ethanolamines and ethyleneamines made by BASF are used in a wide range of products and a great variety of applications.

Production sites 

Beside its European production sites in Ludwigshafen and Antwerp BASF produces ethanol- and ethyleneamines at its BASF-Sinopec joint venture production site at Nanjing, China.

Personal and Home Care

Ethyleneamines are used in the production of various chemicals for home and personal care products. Ethylenediamine is aprecursor for TAED (tetraacetyl­ethylene­diamine), which acts as a bleach activiatorin powdered detergentcompositions. N-(2-Amino­ethyl)ethanol­amineis used as building block for manufacturing amphoacetates, which are an essential ingredientin mild detergents like babycare, shampoo or shower gel.

Chelating Agents

Ethyleneamines are precursors for several types of chelating agents like EDTA(ethylene­diamine­tetra­aceticacid) or DPTA(diethylene­triamine­penta­aceticacid). These chelating agents are used in several industry fields mainly for water softening.
