Description

Triethanolamine Laurate is a versatile non-ionic surfactant synthesized from lauric acid and triethanolamine. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, cleansing, and foam-boosting properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking mild yet effective surfactants.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Primary emulsifier and surfactant in shampoos, liquid soaps, facial cleansers, and shaving creams for its mildness and rich lather.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Key component in liquid dishwashing detergents, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface cleaners for degreasing and emulsification.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring agent, lubricant, and softener in fiber and fabric treatment formulations.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and synthetic coolants.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Employed as a wetting agent, dispersant, or emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide formulations.
• Leather Processing: Acts as a fatliquoring agent and emulsifier in leather tanning and finishing.
