Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies Monoisopropanolamine (CAS 78-96-6) as a 99% pure liquid to coatings, metalworking-fluid, surfactant, personal-care and agrochemical manufacturers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and all seven Emirates, with batch-wise COA, sealed packing and fast GCC delivery.
Monoisopropanolamine (MIPA, 1-amino-2-propanol) is a primary alkanolamine with an amino group on the end carbon and a hydroxyl on the middle carbon. It is a clear, colourless, mobile liquid with a mild amine odour that mixes freely with water.
It is used as a neutralising amine in paints and coatings, in metalworking fluids, to make surfactants and soaps, in personal-care and cleaning products, in cement additives and as an intermediate for agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals.
As an established chemical supplier in the UAE, Chelora Chemicals sources Monoisopropanolamine from approved manufacturers with consistent assay and low levels of diisopropanolamine, 2-amino-1-propanol and water, and delivers it to customers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, as well as export customers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Africa and South Asia.
Typical specification and physical data for Monoisopropanolamine supplied in the UAE. Limits depend on the grade, and batch-specific values are always confirmed on the Certificate of Analysis.

Typically sealed HDPE or lined steel drums, with IBCs, flexitanks and ISO tanks for larger volumes. Solid or semi-solid grades can be supplied as flakes, in heated form or as a concentrated solution.
The minimum order depends on packing and current stock. We handle everything from a few drums or small packs for trials and lab qualification up to full container loads.
Store in tightly closed, clean containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from acids and oxidisers. Keep sealed to limit moisture and carbon dioxide uptake, and keep melted grades warm enough to stay pumpable.
MIPA is corrosive to skin and eyes and harmful if swallowed, and it is transported as a regulated corrosive material. It is combustible but not highly flammable. Use gloves, face protection and ventilation, and follow the SDS.
Yes. We export from the UAE to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, East and West Africa, South Asia and other markets on EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP or DDP terms, subject to the import rules of each destination.
Yes. Samples are available for qualification on request, together with the COA and SDS, so your QC or R&D team can approve the material before a commercial order.
Both are primary alkanolamines, but MIPA carries an extra methyl group, which makes it slightly less hydrophilic and gives it a lower freezing point and a different balance of volatility, odour and compatibility in paints and surfactants.
It neutralises acid groups on the binder to give a stable, water-dispersible resin and holds the pH of the paint. Its amine volatility is moderate, so it leaves the film at a controlled rate during drying.
