TEA is an effective oil and anti-redeposition agent.
Personal Care
TEA may be reacted with lauryl sulfate to form the foaming base surfactant used in hair shampoos.
Fatty acids neutralized with TEA are excellent emulsifiers for oil-in water emulsions such as gel-type industrial hand cleaners, aerosol shave creams, and hand and body lotions.
Textile Finishing
TEA is used as reaction intermediates for the preparation of durable press fabric finishes and softeners.
Because it is hygroscopic, TEA is used in the preparation of vat printing pastes.
