Diglycolamine (DGA)

DGA
CAS 929-06-6 · Formula C4H11NO2 · MW 105.14 g/mol

A single-amine, ether-linked alkanolamine that strips acid gases at high concentration with low circulation rates. It is used for the removal of acid gases — carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide — from natural and industrial gas streams, as an emulsifying agent in metalworking fluids, and as a chemical intermediate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is diglycolamine used for?

Diglycolamine (DGA, CAS 929-06-6), or 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol, is an ether-containing amino-alcohol used to remove acid gases — CO2 and hydrogen sulfide — from natural and industrial gas streams, as an emulsifying agent in metalworking fluids, and as a chemical intermediate. RawSource supplies it in bulk to gas-treating and metalworking formulators.

What chemical is DGA?

DGA is diglycolamine, chemically 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol (CAS 929-06-6, formula C4H11NO2). It is an amino-alcohol carrying both a primary amine and an ether-linked hydroxyl, which gives it the acid-gas absorption and emulsifying functionality.

What is another name for diglycolamine?

Diglycolamine is also known as 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol, DGA, and aminodiglycol. Its CAS number is 929-06-6 and molecular formula C4H11NO2. Note it is a distinct compound from any herbicide salt sharing similar shorthand.

How is diglycolamine shipped and packaged?

DGA classifies under UN 3055 (2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol) for transport and HS 2922.19 (amino-alcohols, their ethers and esters). RawSource supplies it in drums, IBC totes, and bulk, with a current SDS and Certificate of Analysis provided per shipment.

What is the cost of bulk diglycolamine?

Bulk DGA pricing depends on volume, packaging, and freight to your destination. RawSource quotes against current supply and logistics; request a bulk quote with your target volume and ship-to for firm pricing.
