Triisopropanolamine (TIPA) 85%

Triisopropanolamine (TIPA) 85% – Versatile Chemical Intermediate and Additive for Industrial Applications

Triisopropanolamine (TIPA) 85% is supplied as a high-purity alkanolamine derivative, widely recognized for its multifunctional properties as a neutralizing agent, emulsifier, and chemical intermediate. Characterized by its tertiary amine structure and three hydroxyl groups, this compound is extensively utilized across diverse sectors, including cement grinding, metalworking, gas treatment, and chemical synthesis, where its unique reactivity and surfactant qualities are highly valued.

Primary Industrial Applications and Uses

This versatile alkanolamine is employed in several key industrial processes:

• Cement and Concrete Grinding Aids: It is primarily used as a grinding aid and strength enhancer in the production of Portland cement and concrete, where it improves mill efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and enhances the early and final compressive strength of the final product.

• Metalworking Fluids and Corrosion Inhibitors: TIPA serves as an effective corrosion inhibitor, emulsifier, and pH stabilizer in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids, coolants, and hydraulic fluids.

• Gas Treatment and Purification: It is utilized in gas scrubbing processes to remove acidic components such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from natural gas and refinery streams.

• Chemical Synthesis and Intermediate: It acts as a key building block in the synthesis of surfactants, textile auxiliaries, personal care ingredients, and pharmaceutical intermediates.

• Curing Agent for Epoxy Resins: It functions as a curing agent and catalyst in specific epoxy resin systems, contributing to tailored cure profiles and final properties.
