Overview

Triethanolamine (TEA) is an organic compound with the chemical formula N(CH₂CH₂OH)₃. It is a colourless, viscous liquid that is both a tertiary amine and a triol. TEA is commonly used in various industrial and consumer products due to its ability to neutralize fatty acids, adjust pH, and solubilize oils.

Uses

Triethanolamine is primarily used in the production of surfactants, emulsifiers, and as a pH balancer in cosmetic products. It is also used in cement production, metalworking fluids, and as a complexing agent in electroless plating and ultrasonic testing.

Regulatory

TEA is listed under Schedule 3, part B of the Chemical Weapons Convention as it can be used in the manufacture of HN3 nitrogen mustard. It is also regulated in various cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications due to its potential allergenic properties.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of TEA levels in products and environments is crucial to ensure compliance with safety and health regulations. Analytical methods such as chromatography and mass spectrometry are commonly used for this purpose.

Health Impact

Human toxicity

TEA can cause contact allergies and dermatitis. It has been shown to cause liver tumors in female mice and has potential systemic toxicity and respiratory tract irritancy in inhalation studies.

Environmental Impact

Effects on wildlife

TEA has potential acute, sub-chronic, and chronic toxicity properties in aquatic species. Its environmental impact requires careful management and monitoring.

Safety Measure

Proper handling and storage of TEA are essential to minimize exposure and risk. Safety measures include using personal protective equipment (PPE) and following safety data sheet (SDS) guidelines.

Regulation

TEA is subject to various regulations to ensure safe use in consumer and industrial products. Compliance with these regulations is essential for manufacturers and distributors.
