Diethanolamine (DEA) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C4H11NO2. It is a clear, colorless liquid that is slightly viscous, and has a characteristic amine-like odor. DEA is a common ingredient in many personal care products, household cleaning products, and industrial products such as lubricants, emulsifiers, and surfactants. DEA is used to adjust the pH of products and can act as a corrosion inhibitor, a dispersant, and a wetting agent.
