Appli­ca­tion Neu­trol TE is an emi­nently suit­able neu­tral­iz­ing agent for car­bomer res­ins, e.g. in
the pro­duc­tion of gels.

Gels for­mu­lated with Neu­trol TE fea­ture high alco­hol com­pat­ibil­ity and stim­u­late
a pleas­ant, non­sticky sen­sa­tion on the skin.

Other appli­ca­tions for Neu­trol TE in the cos­met­ics field are the man­u­fac­ture of soap,
the pro­duc­tion of stear­ate ­cremes, and the neu­tral­iza­tion of sun­screens that con­tain
acid ­groups, e. g. Uvi­nul® MS 40. It has been dem­on­strated that the ten­dency of
Neu­trol TE to form nitro­sa­mines is ­extremely ­slight if it is sub­sti­tuted for other bases
that con­tain ­amines.

Stabil­ity/Stor­age If it is kept in ­tightly ­closed con­tain­ers at room tem­per­at­ure the prod­uct has a shelf
life of two years.
