Frequently Asked Questions
What is TEA Salicylate 90% Aqueous Solution?
It is Trolamine Salicylate (CAS 2174-16-5), the triethanolamine (TEA) salt of salicylic acid, with formula C13H21NO6, supplied as an approximately 90% aqueous solution. It is listed by CIR/PubChem as a cosmetic formulation ingredient.
Why is TEA salicylate supplied as an aqueous solution?
The TEA salt provides a water-soluble form of salicylate, and the approximately 90% aqueous solution is supplied to simplify dosing and incorporation into formulations. The aqueous form avoids the dissolution step needed with solid salicylic acid.
Will salicylic acid dissolve in water?
Salicylic acid itself has limited water solubility, which is one reason it is often used as a salt. Forming the triethanolamine salt, as in this product, yields a soluble salicylate that disperses readily in aqueous systems.
What HS code applies to TEA salicylate?
It ships under HS 2918.21, covering salicylic acid and its salts. Confirm the destination-country classification with your customs broker.
What is the cost of bulk TEA salicylate solution?
Bulk pricing depends on volume and packaging. Request a quote from RawSource with your target quantity; the product ships in drums, totes, or IBCs with CoA and SDS available on request.
