Dimethylaminoethoxyethanol is polyfunctional, having a tertiary amine, ether and hydroxyl functionality.
[2] Other methods are also available producing streams rich in the substance which then need to be further purified.
[3] As dimethylaminoethoxyethanol is weakly basic,[4] it has been studied as a method of absorbing Greenhouse gases and in particular carbon dioxide.
[5][6][7][8] Dimethylaminoethoxyethanol is used extensively in surfactants which have also been evaluated as corrosion inhibitors.
