Full Description

Hexahydro-1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,3,5-triazine (CAS 4719-04-4, C9H21N3O3) is a hydroxyethyl-substituted hexahydrotriazine. It is used as a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) scavenger in oil and gas production and as a formaldehyde-releasing preservative in metalworking fluids, adhesives, lubricants, and aqueous slurries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is triazine scavenger used for?

This triazine (hexahydro-1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,3,5-triazine, CAS 4719-04-4, C9H21N3O3) is used as a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) scavenger in oil and gas production and as a formaldehyde-releasing preservative in metalworking fluids, adhesives, lubricants, and aqueous slurries. We supply it in bulk for sour-gas and crude treatment and industrial preservation.

How does a triazine scavenger remove H2S?

The triazine reacts irreversibly with hydrogen sulfide in the production stream, where the H2S displaces the hydroxyethyl groups on the triazine ring to form non-volatile sulfur-bearing products (including dithiazine). This chemically binds the H2S rather than just stripping it. Reaction details and dosing guidance are on the technical data sheet.

What does triazine smell like?

This triazine scavenger is typically an aqueous solution with a faint amine-like odor characteristic of the hydroxyethyl triazine. Specific organoleptic and physical properties for a given lot are documented on the SDS.

How is the triazine scavenger classified for shipping?

It is assigned UN 2810 (hexahydro-1,3,5-tris(hydroxyethyl)-s-triazine). Packing group, labeling, and handling requirements are detailed on the SDS and must follow current DOT/IATA/IMDG rules for the mode of transport. We supply compliant documentation with each order.

What is the cost of bulk triazine scavenger and how is it packaged?

Pricing is quote-based and depends on concentration, volume, and packaging (totes, drums, bulk). Request a bulk quote with your target volume and delivery location for current pricing, CoA, and SDS.
