The CAS registry number for Monoethanolamine (MEA) is 141-43-5. Its chemical formula is C2H7NO, with a molecular weight of 61.08 g/mol. Quote this number when requesting a quotation or checking documentation, as it identifies the substance unambiguously regardless of the trade name used.

Monoethanolamine (MEA) is also referred to as Ethanolamine, MEA and 2-Aminoethanol. These names describe the same substance, so a specification or enquiry written against any of them can be matched to this product.
