Description

Triethanolamine Oleate is an oleic acid salt of triethanolamine, functioning as a versatile nonionic surfactant and emulsifying agent. Its balanced structure provides excellent emulsification, lubrication, and antistatic properties, making it a critical component in formulations requiring stability and performance. This product is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, metalworking, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking reliable and efficient surface-active ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and opacifier in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as an effective emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and coolants.
• Textile Processing: Used as a lubricant, softener, and antistatic agent in fiber spinning and fabric finishing.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Functions as a key surfactant and emulsifier in heavy-duty degreasers and cleaning formulations.
• Leather Processing: Employed as a fatliquoring agent to soften and lubricate leather.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides.
• Paint & Coatings: Acts as a dispersing aid and grinding assistant for pigments.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be kept under dry conditions to prevent caking or hydrolysis. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to minimize oxidation.
