Zusammenfassung:A method of making an alkoxylated polyethyleneimine (APEI) product having reduced discoloration includes treating a composition including a component selected from the group of polyethyleneimine (PEI), alkoxylated polyethyleneimine (APEI) intermediate, and combinations thereof that is used to make the APEI product. The method of treating the composition includes adding water to the composition in an amount of from 2 to 20 parts by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. The water is stripped from the composition within a relatively low temperature range of from 158 to 203° F. until less than or equal to 0.2 parts by weight of water, based on the total weight of the composition, is present in the composition. The aqueous solutions of APEI product thus made have Gardner color values of less than 6.
