Industrial Uses

1. Energy

  • Corrosion Inhibitors: Triethanolamine (TEA) plays various roles in the energy industry, primarily in oil and gas operations and cement production. It's used as a corrosion inhibitor
  • Emulsifier in Drilling Fluids: TEA is utilized in drilling fluids to stabilize emulsions, improving the performance and efficiency of drilling operations.
  • Additive in Enhanced Oil Recovery: It can be part of formulations aimed at enhanced oil recovery, helping to optimize the extraction process.

2. Cleaning & Disinfecting Solutions

  • Emulsifier: Helps to mix oil and water-based ingredients in a product, ensuring the formulation remains stable and consistent. 
  • Surfactant: Reduces surface tension, which improves the foaming and cleansing abilities of soaps and detergents. 
  • pH Balancer: Acts as an alkali agent to maintain the pH of a product, which can be important for stability and effectiveness. 
  • Stabilizer: Helps to keep different components of a cleaning product evenly distributed and prevents them from separating. 

3. Personal Care

  • pH Adjuster: Used in creams, lotions, shampoos, and liquid soaps to maintain pH balance. Maintain stability in emulsions. Prevent skin irritation caused by extreme pH levels.
  • Emulsifier: Helps mix water and oil in cosmetic formulations like moisturizers and sunscreens.
  • Surfactant: Improves foaming and cleansing properties in soaps and shampoos.

4. Pulp & Paper Solutions

  • Retention Aid: TEA helps to retain fine fibers and fillers, such as calcium carbonate, within the paper sheet during manufacturing. 
  • Coating Formulations: It improves the quality of coatings applied to paper, enhancing its printing characteristics and overall surface finish. 
  • Penetration Agent: TEA can increase the ability of organic liquids to penetrate wood and paper, making it useful in certain wood treatment processes linked to papermaking. 
  • Intermediate in Surfactant Production: It serves as a key intermediate in creating surface-active agents, which are used in various paper production processes.
