Industrial Applications of TEA

This multifunctional compound finds usage in various industries:

1. Production of Detergents and Personal Care Products

TEA is a key ingredient in shampoos, liquid soaps, shaving foams, and cosmetic creams. It acts as a pH regulator and emulsifier, helping product stability and softness.

2. Cement Additives

In construction, TEA is used as a Cement Grinding Aid (CGA) to prevent particle adhesion to equipment, increasing efficiency in grinding processes.

3. Industrial Detergents and Degreasers

In alkaline formulations such as degreasers, scale removers, and anti-rust agents, TEA stabilizes formulations and enhances cleaning power.

4. Metalworking Lubricants

TEA acts as a coolant and corrosion inhibitor in lubricants used for machining processes.

5. Agriculture and Pesticide Production

It is used as an emulsifier or solvent in some pesticide formulations.

Packaging and Supply Form

Sepidestan Tejarat supplies TEA in two common packaging types:

• 220-liter metal or plastic drums weighing about 245 kg net
• 1000-liter tankers (IBC) for large consumers

• Dow Chemical (USA)
• BASF (Germany)
• Huntsman
• INEOS
• Several Asian companies such as SINOPEC

Asia is the largest consumer of TEA, while the USA and Europe hold significant shares of global production. The global market has shown steady growth due to increased demand for detergents and personal care products.

Factors Influencing Price Fluctuations

Global TEA prices are usually reported per metric ton (MT), ranging from $1300to$1800 depending on origin and destination. Influencing factors include:

• Prices of ethylene and ethylene oxide (raw materials)
• Transportation costs
