tris(N-hydroxyethyl) hexahydrotriazine

Tris(N-hydroxyethyl) hexahydrotriazine (CAS 4719-04-4) is a triazine-based biocide and corrosion inhibitor used across industrial preservation and fluid protection applications. It controls microbial growth and prevents metal degradation in water-containing systems.

This chemical serves as a practical active ingredient where both antimicrobial and anti-corrosive functions are required simultaneously. In metalworking and cutting fluids, it suppresses bacterial and fungal contamination that shortens fluid service life.

It effectively prevents odor and corrosion in sumps caused by microbial activity. Water treatment programs use it to control sulfate-reducing bacteria and biofilm formation in cooling towers and industrial water circuits.

In oil and gas operations, it is dosed into injection water and produced water systems. This application helps to inhibit microbial-induced corrosion in pipelines and downhole equipment during extraction and transport.

Coatings and adhesive formulations incorporate it as an in-can preservative to extend shelf life. This protects the final products against microbial spoilage during storage and distribution to end users.

Tris(N-hydroxyethyl) hexahydrotriazine is supplied as an aqueous solution, typically at concentrations around 78–80% active content. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering for these industrial applications.

The product is suited for industrial biocide and corrosion inhibition programs. Packaging ranges from drums to IBC containers, reflecting its use in bulk industrial dosing programs across various manufacturing sectors.
