Triethanolamine

Introduction

Triethanolamine is an organic compound that can be regarded as the trihydroxy-substituted derivative of triethylamine. It is less basic than ammonia and displays properties characteristic of both tertiary amines and alcohols. Upon reaction with organic acids, it forms salts at low temperatures and esters at high temperatures. Triethanolamine can absorb acidic gases at low temperatures and release them when heated.

Product Grades

Industrial Grade

Purity is typically around 85%. It is mainly used as a cement grinding aid, corrosion inhibitor, lubricant additive, and raw material for manufacturing surfactants.

Cosmetic Grade

It requires relatively high purity, typically 98% to 99% or higher. It is applied in cosmetics and personal care products, primarily as an emulsifier and pH regulator.

Electronic Grade

Purity ranges from 99.5% to 99.9%. It applies to precision manufacturing, electronic cleaning, advanced chemical analysis and research fields with strict limits on impurities including heavy metals and iron ions.

 Standard stock items are industrial grade. For special-grade orders, please contact us for full documentation.
