Triethanolamine (TEOA) is a trihydroxy functional tertiary amine belonging to the class of ethanolamines. It is a versatile intermediate with a broad application base.

General

Coatings TEOA is used as a neutralizing agent in water-based coatings. Additionally, it aids pigment dispersion. Foams and Elastomers TEOA can be used as a chain extender during the synthesis of polyol-based polyurethane foams and elastomers. Inks TEOA is used as a neutralizing agent in water-based inks. Additionally, it aids pigment dispersion. Metal Working In metal working fluids, TEOA is used both as a pH buffer as well as an anticorrosion additive. Textiles TEOA forms quat salts with fatty acids which then find application in fabric softener formulations. Other Combined with fatty acids, TEOA forms quat salts. These surfactants are then used in a variety of personal care and industrial applications. Products are offered pure and in solutions with water. This product comes with a 100% substitution of fossil with renewable raw materials in the value chain. Using a Biomass Balance product (BMB) contributes to preserve fossil resources and enables the shift to a circular economy.  The product provides the same quality, performance and properties as the conventional equivalent (so-called drop-in solution) and helps to reduce the product carbon footprint. Additionally, this product comes with a highly recognized REDcert² certification.
