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.
