Description

Tall Oil Fatty Acids Diethanolamide/ Triethanolamide is a versatile nonionic surfactant derived from renewable tall oil fatty acids. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, thickening, and foam-stabilizing properties, making it a key ingredient in numerous industrial and consumer formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, textile, and metalworking industries seeking effective, bio-based surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier, thickener, and foam booster in shampoos, liquid soaps, shower gels, and creams.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve sprayability and plant coverage.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a lubricant, softener, and antistatic agent in fiber processing and fabric finishing.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in soluble oils and coolants.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and detergent formulations for its grease-cutting and foaming power.
• Paint & Coatings: Employed as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability.
