Features Of Dow TEA Triethanolamine

  1. High-purity, low-color triethanolamine meeting stringent pharmaceutical and cosmetic grade requirements.

  2. Excellent pH buffering capacity in aqueous systems across a broad pH range (7–10).

  3. Superior emulsification and solubilization performance for fatty acids, oils, and surfactants.

  4. Low volatility and high boiling point ensure thermal stability during formulation and processing.

  5. Biodegradable and compliant with major global regulatory frameworks including REACH and TSCA.

Typical Applications Of Dow TEA Triethanolamine

  1. Personal care formulations: pH adjuster and stabilizer in shampoos, liquid soaps, and facial cleansers.

  2. Industrial cleaning agents: corrosion inhibitor and builder in alkaline detergents and metal cleaners.

  3. Agrochemical adjuvants: solubilizer and co-formulant for active ingredients in herbicide and fungicide concentrates.

  4. Coatings and inks: dispersing aid and rheology modifier in water-based architectural and industrial paints.
