Product Description
Triethanolamine 85% / Trolamine 85% CAS 102-71-6
Triethanolamine, or tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, is an organic compound that can be regarded as a trihydroxyl substitution of triethylamine, with the chemical formula C6H15NO3. Similar to other amine compounds, due to the presence of a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom, triethanolamine is weakly alkaline, and is capable of reacting with inorganic or organic acids to form salts.
- Versatile chemical intermediate
- Used in a wide range of applications
- Acts as a pH adjuster and buffering agent
Target Industries: Cosmetics, detergents, pharmaceuticals, and construction.
