Product Overview

POE (02) Tallow Amine (also written polyoxyethylene tallow amine) is a low-EO tallow-derived ethoxylated amine supplied as a light-yellow paste. It functions as an effective emulsifier, dispersant, antistatic agent and corrosion inhibitor and is widely used across textiles, metalworking fluids, pesticide formulations, cosmetics and environmental treatment processes.

This substance possesses emulsifying, dispersing, antistatic, and corrosion-inhibiting properties.
It's physicochemical characteristics change with the number of ethylene oxide (EO) additions: low EO products are slightly turbid to clear liquids, stable in alkaline environments, and have poor compatibility with anionic surfactants; high EO products exhibit enhanced hydrophilicity. As an important industrial additive, it is widely used in 12 sub-sectors, including textile auxiliaries, metalworking fluids, pesticide formulations, and cosmetic raw materials, and has specific functions in cleaning agent formulations and environmental treatment processes.

Key Functions & Why Formulators Use It

Emulsifying & dispersing — improves stability and droplet distribution in pesticide and agrochemical emulsions.
Antistatic & textile auxiliary — reduces fiber friction and static in textile processing.
Lubrication & corrosion inhibition — used in metalworking fluids to extend tool life and protect parts.
Cosmetic raw material — at higher EO numbers similar chemistries are used as emulsifiers in creams/lotions; low EO grades like POE(02) give limited hydrophilicity but good surface activity in certain rinse-off products.

Typical Industrial Applications

Textile auxiliaries (antistatic, softening).
Metalworking fluids and cutting oils (lubricity, corrosion inhibition).
Agrochemical formulations (improved emulsion dispersibility and leaf adhesion).
Environmental treatment (wastewater chelation & flocculation aids).
Leather degreasing and processing aids.

Industrial Auxiliaries:
In the textile industry, it is used as an antistatic agent to reduce fiber friction voltage to a safe range. In metalworking, it is used in cutting fluid formulations, providing both lubrication and corrosion inhibition, extending tool life. Adding TA-15 to pesticide formulations improves emulsion dispersibility and leaf adhesion.

Chemical Raw Materials:
In cosmetics production, TA-15 with an EO number of 20 or higher is used as an emulsifier in creams and lotions. TA-20 with an HLB value of 15.38 achieves stable emulsification of the water-oil phase. In shampoo formulations, its antistatic properties reduce hair tangling.
Environmental Treatment:
Wastewater treatment agents containing TA-8 have a chelating effect on heavy metal ions. In the leather industry, it is used as a major component of degreasing agents, with a consumption of approximately 1.2-1.5 kg per ton of raw hide.

Handling, Storage & Safety

Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from strong oxidizers and heat. Avoid inhalation of vapors/aerosols and avoid prolonged skin/eye contact; use standard PPE (gloves, goggles). In case of contact, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention if needed.
