Product Description
Triethanolamine (TEA) is a widely used organic raw material in the fine chemicals industry, characterized by its mild alkalinity, emulsifying properties, moisturizing effects, and chelating capabilities. It is highly water-soluble, chemically stable, non-corrosive, and not classified as a hazardous material. It is extensively used in cement admixtures, household detergents, cosmetics, textile printing and dyeing, leather chemicals, metal cleaning, water-based coatings, and surfactant synthesis.
