Triethanolamine Lauryl Sulfate Production Cost Analysis 2020

Triethanolamine lauryl sulfate or TEA lauryl sulfate or TEALS is the triethanolamine salt of lauryl sulfate. In appearance, it looks like a viscous, yellow liquid. It forms a gel at low temperatures and has a mild odour.  It is widely used as a surfactant and cleansing, emulsifying, and foaming agent.

Triethanolamine lauryl sulfate finds extensive applications in the industrial, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic sectors. It can often be used in the formulation of a variety of products, including shampoos, bath products, hair dye colours, shaving creams, and cleaning products as it is a cost-effective surfactant foamer having a stable lather.  It is also ideal for use in baby shampoos because of its low irritant properties. 

It is generally supplied at a concentration of 35-40% in aqueous solution and is an anionic surfactant that belongs to the group of sulfated fatty alcohols, with a high value of HLB = 34. Its boiling point is about 1OO degrees C while the melting point of the product is around -4 degrees C.
