    Product Overview

    What is Triethanolamine (TEA)?

    Triethanolamine (TEA, trolamine) is a tertiary alkanolamine with three hydroxyethyl groups on one nitrogen. It is a clear, colourless to pale yellow, viscous, hygroscopic liquid with a faint ammonia-like odour that mixes freely with water and alcohols.

    It is the workhorse cement grinding aid and strength enhancer, a pH adjuster in cosmetics, an emulsifier base for surfactants, a corrosion inhibitor in metalworking fluids, a detergent and cleaner ingredient and a catalyst or crosslinker in polyurethane.

    As an established chemical supplier in the UAE, Chelora Chemicals sources Triethanolamine (TEA) from approved manufacturers with consistent assay and low levels of MEA, DEA and water, and delivers it to customers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, as well as export customers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Africa and South Asia.

    Safe Handling

    Storage & handling guidance

    Low-to-moderate hazard. TEA is a mild skin and eye irritant and is not classified as flammable. It can form nitrosamines with nitrosating agents. Always refer to the supplied SDS for the classification of the grade supplied.

    • Store in a clean, dry, tightly closed container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
    • Keep the product dry; it is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from air.
    • Keep away from strong acids, strong oxidisers and nitrosating agents.
    • Use stainless steel, carbon steel or HDPE; avoid copper, zinc and aluminium and their alloys.
    • Wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles or face shield and protective clothing; use ventilation or a respirator where vapour or mist forms.
    • Contain spills with inert absorbent, keep out of drains and dispose of as per UAE regulations.

    FAQ

    Triethanolamine (TEA) questions answered

    Common questions from UAE and GCC buyers about Triethanolamine (TEA) supply, specifications and delivery.

    TEA is used as a cement grinding aid and strength enhancer, a pH adjuster in cosmetics, a base for surfactants and emulsifiers, a corrosion inhibitor in metalworking fluids, a detergent ingredient and a polyurethane catalyst or crosslinker.

    The CAS number of Triethanolamine (TEA) is 102-71-6. Its molecular formula is N(CH₂CH₂OH)₃ and its molecular weight is 149.19 g/mol.

    Triethanolamine (TEA) (CAS 102-71-6) is also sold as TEA, trolamine, tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, 2,2',2''-nitrilotriethanol, triethylolamine. Please mention the CAS number in your enquiry so we quote the right material.

    Chelora Chemicals UAE is a B2B chemical supplier and distributor of Triethanolamine (TEA), serving Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, with full COA, SDS and TDS documentation and export to the wider GCC.

    Yes. We deliver to all seven Emirates, including Jebel Ali and JAFZA in Dubai, KEZAD, Musaffah and Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi, and SAIF Zone and Hamriyah Free Zone in Sharjah, as well as RAKEZ, Ajman Free Zone and Fujairah.

    We supply TEA as a 99% pure grade and as an 85% aqueous grade, including low-DEA grades for cosmetics, as per COA. Please state the grade, colour limit, DEA limit and intended use.

    TEA (CAS 102-71-6) is triethanolamine, the tertiary alkanolamine. It is different from triethylamine (CAS 121-44-8, also abbreviated TEA, a flammable amine base), from monoethanolamine (CAS 141-43-5), diethanolamine (CAS 111-42-2) and triisopropanolamine (CAS 122-20-3). Please quote the CAS number.

    Share the grade (99% or 85%), colour limit, DEA limit and packing, quantity, packing, Incoterm and delivery Emirate through our contact page and our team aims to respond within one business day.

    Typically sealed HDPE or lined steel drums, with IBCs, flexitanks and ISO tanks for larger volumes. Solid or semi-solid grades can be supplied as flakes, in heated form or as a concentrated solution.

    The minimum order depends on packing and current stock. We handle everything from a few drums or small packs for trials and lab qualification up to full container loads.

    Store in tightly closed, clean containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from acids and oxidisers. Keep sealed to limit moisture and carbon dioxide uptake, and keep melted grades warm enough to stay pumpable.

    TEA is a mild skin and eye irritant and is not classified as flammable. Wear gloves and eye protection, avoid mixing with nitrosating agents and follow the SDS supplied with the product.

    Yes. We export from the UAE to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, East and West Africa, South Asia and other markets on EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP or DDP terms, subject to the import rules of each destination.

    Yes. Samples are available for qualification on request, together with the COA and SDS, so your QC or R&D team can approve the material before a commercial order.

    No. Both are abbreviated TEA, but triethanolamine (CAS 102-71-6) has three hydroxyl groups and is a mild, high-boiling viscous liquid, while triethylamine (CAS 121-44-8) is a flammable, volatile amine used as an organic base. Always give the full name and CAS number.

    It adsorbs on the fresh particle surfaces in the mill, reducing static and agglomeration so the mill runs more efficiently. It also accelerates some early hydration reactions, usually raising early-age strength; dosage is typically small and set by mill trials.
