APPLICATIONS:

Cement and Concrete TEA 99 and its salts are added to cement clinkers to increase the efficiency of the grinding Mill by reducing the particle agglomerations. In concrete, SABIC TEA accelerates set time and increase early set strength.

Textile TEA 99 is used in the manufacturing of environmentally friendly textile fabric softener formulations.

Oil Field TEA 99 is used in enhanced oil recovery. Crude oil/ water emulsion is demulsified by TEA 99.

Electroplating TEA 99 is used in electro deposition baths for Zinc.

Metal Working SABIC TEA derivatives obtained by the reaction of fatty acids are used as emulsifiable oils and, cutting fluids. SABIC TEA is an excellent chelating agent in basic solutions. This chelating ability makes SABIC TEA particularly useful in metal cleaning.

Coatings TEA 99 is used as accelerator for photo polymerization coatings.

Mining TEA 99 is used as a depressant in the floatation of copper & as an aid in the froth floatation of Nickel.
