Ethylamine oxide is a highly effective anti-static agent and corrosion inhibitor used in a wide range of applications, including plastics, coatings, and industrial formulations. It works by reducing electrostatic charge accumulation, improving the surface conductivity, and providing long-lasting protection against corrosion.
| Property | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Clear to yellowish liquid |
| Active Content | 80% – 90% |
| Viscosity | 50 – 200 cps (at 25°C) |
| Flash Point | 150 °C (min) |
| pH Value | 7.0 – 9.0 |
| Challenge | Ethylamine Oxide Solution |
|---|---|
| Electrostatic build-up causing damage to sensitive components | Reduces static charge accumulation, protecting devices |
| Corrosion in metal parts and components | Provides corrosion protection to extend service life |
| Poor conductivity in plastic formulations | Enhances electrical conductivity without affecting material properties |
| Short-lasting anti-static performance | Offers durable static dissipation even after processing |
Q1: Is Ethylamine Oxide suitable for food-grade applications?
Ethylamine oxide is not food-grade and should not be used in food-contact materials.
Q2: How should Ethylamine Oxide be incorporated into formulations?
It is typically added at 0.1% – 1.0% depending on the application and desired static control.
Q3: Does Ethylamine Oxide affect the optical properties of plastics?
No, it does not impact the transparency or clarity of most plastics.
