Diisopropanolamine, 98+%, sum of isomers, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Bis(2-hydroxypropyl)amine (Diisopropanolamine) is used to study its effects upon choline uptake and phospholipid synthesis in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. It is a versatile chemical that is widely used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, surfactant, and chemical building block. It can neutralize pH, act as a buffer (stabilize pH), or add basicity (alkalinity) to a solution. Major applications include personal care products, metalworking products, and natural gas purification. Diisopropanolamine is also used in coatings, paint strippers, paper, photographic intermediates, plastics, polyurethanes, and textiles. It is frequently used to neutralize fatty acids and sulfonic acidbased surfactants.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
