REF : TEA 200L
Drum 224kg
Triethanolamine TEA 85%
Triethanolamine (TEA) is a tertiary amine and a trialcohol. This raw material is widely used in the manufacture of cosmetic products and detergents. Obtained by the reaction between ethylene oxide and ammonia, its chemical formula is C6H15NO3.
Triethanolamine is a weak base with hygroscopic properties, making it a good choice as an alkaline agent.
We offer this product packaged in 23 kg containers, intended for professionals.

This product is subject to regulation. It cannot be sold without the customer providing a declaration of intended use. No delivery will be made without a response to this requirement.
MAIN FUNCTIONS
- Masking agent: reduces or inhibits bad odors.
- pH agent: it modifies or stabilizes the pH of a solution (buffering agent).
- Surfactant: it serves to neutralize fatty acids for the formation of surfactants/soaps.
INDUSTRIAL USE
- Detergent industry: raw material for the manufacture of professional cleaning products, car shampoos, and polishing wax
- Raw material for the preparation of corrosion inhibitors, particularly for cutting fluids
- Gas industries: acid gas absorbent for the purification of natural and refinery gases
- Metal treatment: chelating agent for cleaning, chemical or electrolytic deposition
In cosmetic or pharmaceutical grade (on request only):
- Cosmetic industry: cosmetic raw material used in the manufacture of moisturizing hair care products, shampoos, conditioners, hair sprays, perm products, styling gels... Also used in the manufacture of makeup and face creams: mascaras, cleansers, makeup removal lotions, depilatory creams, shaving foam. Also found in colognes, perfumes, and bath oils. Can also be used as a neutralizing agent for long-chain fatty acids such as lauric, ricinoleic, oleic and stearic acids, thus forming soaps. These soaps are water-soluble and have emulsifying properties.
- Pharmaceutical industry: active ingredient in Biafine, an ointment used against superficial burns
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
In cosmetics, its use is regulated to a maximum content of 2.5% (see Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, Annex III, line 62, categories Trialkylamines, trialkanolamines and their salts ).
Detergent: TEA 85% can be used to neutralize our dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid LABSA and form a surfactant with good wetting, detergent and foaming properties. It will be used in shampoos and bubble baths (equivalent to Marlopon AT50, Bio-Soft N-300, CAS 27323-41-7).
Note: Amines such as MEA and TEA are known to react with nitrites to form nitrosamines, which are known to be carcinogenic. This type of mixture should therefore be avoided.
