CEH: Isopropanolamines

Mar 2021. Isopropanolamines include monoisopropanolamine (MIPA), diisopropanolamine (DIPA), and triisopropanolamine (TIPA). They are provided either as single products or as blends. Isopropanolamines are used in a wide array of applications, including cement and concrete processing aids, gas purification, surfactants (primarily for home and personal care products), cosmetic formulations, corrosion inhibitors, metalworking fluids, and as emulsifiers, dispersants, and wetting agents. 

Global consumption of isopropanolamines will continue to grow at an average annual growth rate of 3.8% during 2020–25, driven by consumption in mainland China, India, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Combined consumption in these regions will continue to grow at an average annual growth rate of 4.5%, driven by the increasing use of triisopropanolamine (TIPA) for cement applications. These countries/regions, especially mainland China, continue to invest in a great deal of infrastructure—a large consuming application for cement.
