Industrial grade triethanolamine

On the stage of industrial chemical industry, industrial grade triethanolamine has become a highly anticipated surfactant due to its unique properties.

The molecular structure of industrial grade triethanolamine is unique, with one end being a hydrophilic group and the other end being an oleophilic group. This amphiphilic structure gives it good surface activity. It can play an important role in many industrial fields.

In the metal processing industry, triethanolamine is an indispensable "right-hand man". As an important additive in metalworking fluids, it can have multiple effects such as lubrication, cooling, and rust prevention. During metal cutting, triethanolamine can reduce friction between the tool and the workpiece, decrease wear, and improve machining accuracy. At the same time, it can help remove the heat generated by cutting and prevent the workpiece from deforming due to overheating. Its rust prevention performance provides long-term protection and extends the service life of metal products.

In the cosmetics industry, triethanolamine is often used as a pH regulator and emulsifier. As a pH regulator, it can control the acidity and alkalinity of cosmetics within an appropriate range, ensuring the stability and safety of the product. As an emulsifier, it can make the oil phase and water phase mix evenly to form a stable lotion system, making face cream, lotion and other products more delicate and easy to apply and absorb.

In addition, in industries such as coatings and inks, triethanolamine as a surfactant can improve the dispersibility and leveling of products, evenly disperse pigments, fillers, etc., avoid precipitation and agglomeration, and enhance the quality and appearance of products.

With the continuous advancement of industrial technology, the performance requirements for industrial grade triethanolamine are also constantly increasing. In the future, it is expected to achieve innovative applications in more fields and continue to inject new impetus into the development of industrial grade chemical industry.
