Raw Material for N-Methyldiethanolamine Production

According to the N-Methyldiethanolamine production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of N-Methyldiethanolamine include Ethylene oxide-methylamine.

Production Process of N-Methyldiethanolamine

The detailed N-Methyldiethanolamine production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:

1. From Ethylene oxide and Methylamine: The industrial production of N-Methyldiethanolamine consists of a few steps. First, ethylene oxide is reacted with methylamine at temperatures 60-90 °C and under pressure up to 1 MPa. In this reaction, excess methylamine is used, forming N-Methyldiethanolamine. After that, the crude product is purified using distillation to obtain pure N-methyldiethanolamine.

N-Methyldiethanolamine is a clear to yellow viscous liquid having an ammonia smell. It has a molecular weight of 119.16 g/mol and its molecular formula is C5H13NO2. Its melting point is at -21°C and has a boiling point in the range of 246-248°C. Its density is 1.038 g/cm³, and it is completely soluble in water. It has a pH of 11.5 and a flash point of around 127°C. It is stable under normal conditions but has reactivity with strong oxidizing agents. It reacts with acids, forming salts and water. All these physical and chemical properties contribute to its application in various industries.
