Applications of Dimethyl Ethanolamine:
Flocculents:
The water-soluble polymers produced from this ester, mostly by copolymerisation with acrylamide, are useful as flocculents.
Pulp and paper chemicals:
The dry strength or wet strength of paper is increased by adding a homopolymer of Dimethyl ethanolamine to the unbleached kraft paper.
Ion exchange resins:
Anion exchange resins can be prepared by reacting tertiary amines like Dimethyl ethanolamine or trimethylamine with the chloromethylated vinyl or styrene resin.
Increased exchange capacity is obtained by reacting a cross-linked polymer, containing haloalkyl functions, with an amine.
The anion exchange membranes are aminated with Dimethyl ethanolamine.
Polyurethane:
In the production of PU foam for insulating purposes, the use of Dimethyl ethanolamine is a practical and effective way of reducing the total formula cost.
Textiles – leather:
The acid-dyeing capability of polyacrylonitrile is improved by copolymerisation of the acrylonitrile with Dimethyl ethanolamine esters, such as dimethylaminoethyl acrylate.
Cellulose modified with the homopolymer of Dimethyl ethanolamine can be dyed with ester salts of a leuco vat dye.
Long-chain alkylphosphates of Dimethyl ethanolamine form anti-static agents for non-cellulosic hydrophobic textile materials.
Paints, coatings and inks:
Dimethyl ethanolamine is excellent for neutralising free acidity in water-soluble coating resins.
The resin can be acrylic, alkyd or styrene-maleic.
Dimethyl ethanolamine is often preferred to triethylamine when lower volatility is required, as in electrodeposition.
