FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Does TEA mean Triethylamine or Triethanolamine?
A: The abbreviation TEA is used for both materials in different industries. This product is triethylamine, CAS 121-44-8, a volatile tertiary amine; triethanolamine is CAS 102-71-6 and is not interchangeable. Purchase orders should always state the full name and CAS number rather than the abbreviation alone. -
Q:
Which specifications should be agreed for anhydrous Triethylamine?
A: Set GC assay, water, color, monoethylamine, diethylamine, ethanol and other specified organic impurities, plus density or distillation range where required. Low-moisture reactions may need tighter water and sampling controls than general industrial use. Review the batch COA and methods against the approved anhydrous-grade specification. -
Q:
What should be confirmed for bulk Triethylamine delivery?
A: Specify tanker, drum or IBC format, compatible seals and gaskets, previous cargo, cleanliness, net quantity, closure integrity and unloading connection. Confirm the current SDS, UN 1296 transport description, grounding and bonding, vapor control, ventilation and receiving-tank capacity before loading. Use closed transfer wherever the approved site procedure requires it.
