  • Applications

    For tetradecanoic acid, compd. with 2,2',2''-nitrilotris[ethanol] (1:1) (CAS 41669-40-3), the fatty acid–amine salt forms a surface-active amphiphilic compound commonly used as a surfactant and emulsifier. In cosmetics and personal care, it functions as a mild cleansing agent and emulsifying/conditioning ingredient. In household cleaning products, it acts as a surfactant and solubilizer. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as a wetting agent, dispersant and processing aid for coatings, inks, and metal cleaners. In polymers and plastics processing, it can act as a lubricity modifier and emulsifier to assist pigment dispersion. In agricultural formulations, it is used as an emulsifier/adjuvant for spray solutions. In pharmaceutical formulations, it may be evaluated as an excipient or surfactant to improve solubility of active ingredients. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
