Fatty acids, C12-18 and C18-unsaturated, reaction products with triethanolamine

Mixed triethanolamine soaps produced by neutralizing a blend of C12-18 and C18-unsaturated fatty acids (CAS 91001-85-3).

Where is Fatty acids, C12-18 and C18-unsaturated, reaction products with triethanolamine used?

• Metalworking fluids and cutting oils: emulsifiers and corrosion inhibitors that keep metal surfaces protected while maintaining stable oil-in-water emulsions
• Textile and leather processing: softening and lubricating agents for fiber finishing, scouring, and hide treatment
• Coatings and adhesives: stabilise pigment dispersions and improve substrate wetting
• Personal care: emulsifying agents in creams and lotions with a mild, soap-based system
• The anionic/nonionic surfactant system delivers emulsification, lubrication, and corrosion inhibition.

Good to know: Metalworking and textile grades sometimes differ in free amine content and pH profile.
