Applications
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.
