| Ethanolamine Usage And Synthesis | 
| Chemical Properties | Colorless to yellow liquid | 
| General Description | A clear colorless liquid with an odor resembling that of ammonia. Flash point 185°F. May attack copper, brass, and rubber. Corrosive to tissue. Moderately toxic. Produces toxic oxides of nitrogen during combustion. | 
| Air & Water Reactions | Water soluble with evolution of heat. | 
| Reactivity Profile | Ethanolamine is a base. Reacts with organic acids (acetic acid, acrylic acid), inorganic acids (hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, chlorosulfonic acid), acetic anhydride, acrolein, acrylonitrile, cellulose, epichlorohydrin, mesityl oxide, beta-propiolactone, vinyl acetate. Emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides when heated to decomposition [Sax, 9th ed., 1996, p. 1498]. | 
| Health Hazard | Vapor irritates eyes and nose. Liquid causes local injury to mouth, throat, digestive tract, skin, and eyes. | 
| Fire Hazard | Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors generated when heated. |
