DEHA - DIETHYL HYDROXYL AMINE

DEHA (N,N- Diethylhydroxylamine)is a colourless to pale yellow transparent liquid, available as 98% DEHA and also as 85% solution in water.

APPLICATION AREAS :

• WATER TREATMENT

DEHA is used in Water Treatment Chemical Formulations for controlling corrosion in boiler very effectively due to its property of oxygen scavenging. It scores over conventional hydrazine hydrate since it is far less toxic and meets the standard for disposal of blow offs without any difficulty giving a good protection against corrosion at the same time.

• POLYMERIZATION

DEHA's powerful free radical scavenging ability coupled with its moderate volatility and relatively low order of acute toxicity makes it an ideal "popcorn Polymer "/ vapour phase inhibitor for olefins or styrene monomer storage & recovery system. Because of its capability of inhibiting polymerization in the gas phase, DEHA is finding use as an in-process inhibitor for the production of styrene, divinylbenzene, butadiene, isoprene and other monomers containing a reactive double bond.

• PHOTOGRAPHIC CHEMICALS

DEHA has reducing property, so it is used as an auxiliary chemical photographic developer for instant colour photos. Also, DEHA is effective in stabilization of image and in the prevention of discolouration.

• DECOLOURISATION

Phenol and Phenolic antioxidants can be decolourised with DEHA.

• INHIBITORS

DEHA can be used as a colour stabiliser of monoalkyl phenol.

• SILICON RUBBER

DEHA can be used as a raw material for the hardener of the Silicon Sealant and coating agent.
