Applications. Triethanolamine is used primarily in making surfactants, such as for emulsifier. It is a common ingredient in formulations used for both industrial and consumer products.
Triethanolamine reacts violently with strong oxidizing agents. Since it is a weak base, it reacts with acids, vigorously with concentrated strong acids.
Triethanolamine is safe for the skin and does not have any side effects, as most products keep its concentration between 1% and 3%. At this concentration, triethanolamine is safe for skin application and does not lead to irritation of the skin or any other side effects.
