Dimethylethylamine (DMEA) – C4H11N
This page dimethylethylamine – or DMEA – ( C4H11N ) provides information about: properties, health effects, detection devices and systems – DMEA gas detector – and suitable respiratory protective equipment (gas mask or ABEK with gas filter powered air purifying respirator).
Dimethylethylamine – DMEA (C4H11N) – properties
Generally known as DMEA dimethylethylamine ( C4H11N ) , is widely available in foundries. This gas is used as a crosslinking agent for synthetic resins (phenoplasts, polyurethanes) used mainly in the core making process of foundries. It is also a polymerization catalyst for polyamides.

Dimetiletilamin – DMEA – sağlık üzerindeki etkileri
Dimethylethylamine ( DMEA ), extremely explosive with explosive limits between 2.3% and 12% vol. flammable is a gas. When this gas burns, it contains ammonia, nitrogen oxides and traces of cyanide. It produces very toxic fumes. It is also a poisonous gas and when inhaled (H332) or Harmful if swallowed (H302). very irritating It may cause skin burns and serious eye damage.
DMEA gas detector – Dimethylethylamine (C4H11N)
Even if it can be detected by smell, only one DMEA gas detector can accurately measure concentrations of this gas. Two dimethylethylamine detected solution is available: either in toxicity by ppm measurement (not recommended as this gas is toxic) or in explosive concentration by LEL percentage monitoring (flammable gas detector).
Dimethylethylamine respiratory protection – DMEA (C4H11N)
Full face mask for short interventions as dimethylethylamine (DMEA) is irritating to the eyes It is recommended to use . For longer applications A complete PAPR solution can be used. Both air filtration devices are a with ABEK filter must be equipped . If concentrations exceed 60 times the OEL, a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is required.
