Description

Triethanolamine Salicylate is an organic salt formed from triethanolamine and salicylic acid, combining the properties of both parent compounds. This versatile chemical is valued for its role as a stabilizing and buffering agent in formulations requiring precise pH control and enhanced solubility. It serves as a critical intermediate and functional additive for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and specialty chemical industries, where consistent quality and reliable performance are paramount.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and topical formulations.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a stabilizing and buffering agent in creams, lotions, and ointments, particularly in sunscreen and anti-acne products.
• Polymer & Resin Production: Serves as a catalyst or curing agent in specific epoxy and polyurethane resin systems.
• Industrial Additives: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and stabilizer in metalworking fluids and lubricant formulations.
• Analytical Chemistry: Employed as a reagent or buffer component in laboratory and diagnostic applications.

Quality Control

Our Triethanolamine Salicylate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics. We adhere to cGMP guidelines where applicable to support demanding pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality and stability.
