Saudi Kayan has been designed to make specialised chemicals such as aminoethanols, aminomethyls, dimethylformamide, choline chloride, dimethylethanol,
dimethylethanolamine, ethoxylates, phenol, cumene and polycarbonate which will provide wide opportunities for downstream industries.
The complex will also produce aminoethanols, aminomethyls, dimethylformamide, choline chloride, dimethylethanol,
dimethylethanolamine, ethoxylates, phenol, cumene and polycarbonate which will be produced for the first time in the region.
Dimethylethanolamine (DMEA) was used as a neutralizing medium.
Amine-based catalysts for flexible and rigid applications include PM-DETA, TM-PDA, TM-HDA, N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine, N-methylmorpholine, N-ethylmorpholine, 1-methylimidazole, 1,2-dimethylimidazole,
dimethylethanolamine, and triethylamine.
They include aminoethanols, aminomethyls, dimethylformamide, dimethylethanol,
dimethylethanolamine, ethoxylates, polycarbonate and acetone.
When complete, the complex will produce 6 million tonnes of petrochemicals, including aminoethanols, dimethylformamide, dimethylethanol,
dimethylethanolamine, ethoxylates, phenol, cumene and polycarbonates -- it is the first time these speciality chemicals will be produced in the kingdom.
Dimethylethanolamine was used as amine neutralizer.
Products:
Dimethylethanolamine, dimethylformamide, and ethylenediamine
BASF: effective immediately--0.05 [euro]/kg increase for
dimethylethanolamine, methyldiethanolamine and monomethylethanolamine in Europe; 0.07 [euro]/kg increase for diethylethanolamine in Europe.
Products: 2-Ethylhexylamine (off-list), 1,2-propylenediamine (off-list), diethanolamine, diisopropanolamine (off-list),
dimethylethanolamine (off-list only), dimethylaminopropylamine (off-list), di-2-ethylhexylamine (off-list), methylethanolamine (off-list), monoethanolamine, monoisopropanolamine (off-list), polyetheramines (off-list), tertiary-butylamine, triethanolamine, and triisopropanolamine
By drying the dispersion containing
dimethylethanolamine (BP = 134[degrees]C) at a temperature of 130[degrees]C instead of 80[degrees]C, the [[theta].sub.w] value was found to increase from 64[degrees] to 70[degrees], i.e., the value of the solventborne PUA sample containing no carboxylic group.
With the exception of
dimethylethanolamine (DMEA) for Hybrid [B.sub.SF], the neutralizing amine used was triethylamine (TEA).
