Triethanolamine 85% (TEA 85%)

Triethanolamine 85% – Versatile Surfactant, Emulsifier, and pH Adjuster for Industry

We supply technical-grade triethanolamine at an 85% concentration. This versatile alkanolamine acts as an effective surfactant, emulsifier, and alkaline pH adjuster. Consequently, formulators across diverse industries actively integrate it into cosmetics, cement, and metalworking fluids. Moreover, its multifunctional properties make it a cornerstone for creating stable, high-performance products.

Core Industrial Applications and Uses

This chemical delivers critical functionality in manufacturing and construction. Its roles are essential for product stability and performance.

First, the cosmetics and personal care industry relies on TEA 85% as a key pH balancer and emulsifying agent. It stabilizes lotions, creams, and shampoos by creating consistent emulsions. Therefore, manufacturers depend on it for smooth texture and reliable shelf life in consumer products.

Second, the construction and cement industry utilizes it as a powerful grinding aid and set retarder. It improves the efficiency of cement mills and allows for better workability of concrete. Furthermore, it enhances the final strength and durability of construction materials.

Third, the metalworking and lubricants sector formulates with it as an essential corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier. It protects metal surfaces in cutting fluids and hydraulic oils. Additionally, it serves in gas treatment to absorb acidic gases and acts as a curing agent in specific polymer systems.
