Glycolamines are a class of organic compounds characterized by the presence of both an amine group (–NH₂, –NHR, or –NR₂) and a hydroxyl group (–OH) attached to a two-carbon chain, similar to glycol ethers. This structural feature makes them "hydroxylated amines." Common examples include monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), diglycolamine (DGA), and methyldiethanolamine (MDEA).

Glycolamines are widely used as solvents and intermediates in industrial processes, particularly for gas treatment (such as the removal of acid gases like CO₂ and H₂S), water treatment, and the production of surfactants, emulsifiers, and corrosion inhibitors. Their chemical diversity, with primary, secondary, and tertiary amine forms, gives them a broad range of physical and chemical properties, including high solvency, basicity, and reactivity
