Product Overview

• N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Morpholine, commonly referred to in trade as Morpholine Ethanol, is a heterocyclic amino-alcohol compound combining a morpholine ring with a hydroxyethyl functional group. It appears as a clear, colorless to pale yellow, viscous liquid with a mild amine odor, and is fully miscible with water and most polar organic solvents. Its dual functionality — a tertiary amine nitrogen combined with a primary hydroxyl group — makes it a valuable specialty intermediate and functional additive. Procorbay International supplies N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Morpholine serving as a corrosion inhibitor component, textile processing auxiliary, and chemical intermediate across industrial processing and specialty chemical manufacturing applications.
• N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Morpholine is manufactured through the reaction of morpholine with ethylene oxide under controlled catalytic conditions, followed by distillation to achieve the required industrial purity. Procorbay sources this compound from established specialty amine manufacturers maintaining consistent quality control over purity, water content, and color specifications.
• Industrially, N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Morpholine serves as a corrosion inhibitor component in boiler water treatment and steam-system protection formulations, leveraging its amine functionality to neutralize acidic conditions while its hydroxyl group improves water solubility and formulation compatibility. It also functions as a textile processing auxiliary, particularly in dyeing and finishing operations where its amine and hydroxyl functionality assist in dye-fixation and fiber-treatment processes. Additionally, it serves as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of certain specialty surfactants, pharmaceutical intermediates, and rubber-processing chemicals, leveraging the reactivity of both its amine and alcohol functional groups.
• Given its specialized but consistent demand from water treatment, textile processing, and specialty chemical manufacturing sectors, Procorbay maintains dependable supply of N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Morpholine to serve buyers across these applications.
