TRIETHYL ALUMINIUM Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Triethanolamine, also known as TEA, is an organic compound commonly used as a surfactant, emulsifier and buffer in various industrial applications. It can be found in products such as cosmetics, soaps, pharmaceuticals, detergents, floor waxes, and liquid soaps.
When rubber is exposed to TEA, the material can become brittle and cracked due to swelling and chemical attack. The rubber can become discolored due to oxidation and can ultimately harden due to the loss of the plasticizer. Additionally, TEA can cause the rubber to become tacky and sticky due to the formation of a film-like layer on its surface.
