Triethanolamine borate

Triethanolamine Borate (CAS No. 3000-04-8) is an organic compound synthesised by the reaction of triethanolamine (TEA) and boric acid. It has a variety of important applications in chemistry and materials science, especially in the fields of coatings, adhesives and cosmetics. Triethanolamine borate is a derivative of triethanolamine with a large molecular structure. Its molecule contains elements such as nitrogen, oxygen and boron, giving it specific physicochemical properties. The compound usually appears as a colourless or pale yellow liquid, has good solubility and shows good compatibility in aqueous and organic solvents. It has a high boiling point and exhibits high viscosity in aqueous solutions. In water-based coatings, triethanolamine borate is commonly used as a thickener and rheology modifier. It increases the viscosity of coatings, improves coating properties, and prevents settling and delamination. As an additive in adhesive formulations, it enhances adhesion and water resistance and improves the overall performance of the adhesive. In skin care and cosmetic products, it is usually used as a thickener and emulsifier, which can improve the texture and stability of the product and enhance the experience of use.
