DMAE is a tertiary amine, which means it has three nitrogen atoms. Nitrogen atoms are basic, which means they can react with acids to form salts. This property makes DMAE useful as a corrosion inhibitor.

DMAE is also a surfactant, which means it lowers the surface tension of water. This property makes it useful as a defoamer.

DMAE is a hazardous substance. It is flammable and irritating to skin and eyes. It is also a potential carcinogen.

DMAE should be stored in a cool, dry place. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flames. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
