Triethanolamine
The ethanolamine family contains monoethanolamine, diethanolamine and triethanolamine, which are widely used. These chemicals have the characteristics of alcohols and amines, and therefore have the capacity to react with both groups. As amines, they are intermediates and react with acids to form salts and soaps, and they are hydrophilic and can be sterilized as an alcohol.
It often abbreviated as TEA, is a viscous organic compound that is both a tertiary amine and a triol. A triol is a molecule with three alcohol groups. It is a strong base. It can also be abbreviated as TEOA, which can help to distinguish it.
Triethanolamine Applications
TEA is used in a wide range in many industries, such as Oil and Gas for Gas sweetening. Triethanolamine in Textile as softening agent and amine soaps. in laundry, in metal working as passive agent, in cosmetics and hygiene products.
