TALLOW AMINE 2 EO is a nonionic surfactant used in agricultural formulations. It can be used alone or in combination with other surfactants.

TALLOW AMINE 2 EO is a Glyphosate Formulation Adjuvant in the agriculture industry.

Polyoxyethylene tallow amine (POEA) is added to glyphosate formulations, the most widely applied agricultural herbicide.

The polyethoxylated tallow amine used as a surfactant is referred to in the literature as MON 0139 or polyoxyethylene amine (POEA). 

It is contained in the herbicide Roundup. 

An ethoxylated tallow amine (CAS No. 61791-26-2) is on the United States Environmental Protection Agency List 3 of Inert Ingredients of Pesticides.

TALLOW AMINE 2 EO can be combined unreservedly with nonionic and other cationic surface-active substances.

Compatibility with anionic products must, however, be checked in each case.

TALLOW AMINE 2 EO is mainly resistant to most chemicals in the standard application concentrations and are

practically indifferent to hard water.

The specific surface-active properties of TALLOW AMINE 2 EO make it a valuable raw material and mixing component for the chemical technological

industry. 

TALLOW AMINE 2 EO is suitable, e.g., for manufacturing dyeing and other textile auxiliaries, mineral oil additives, crop protection products, pesticides, cosmetic starting materials, and bonding agents, details of which are beyond the scope of this datasheet.

TALLOW AMINE 2 EO is essential in the Oil and gas, Crop Solutions, and textile processing markets.

Production of TALLOW AMINE 2 EO: 

The surface-active tallow fatty amine 2 ethoxylate is obtained by ethylene oxide on saturated and unsaturated C16-C18 fatty amine.

As a result of the addition of ethylene oxide to the fatty amine, dihydric alcohols with terminal hydroxyl groups are produced. 

Under suitable conditions, further reactions to these are possible.

Storage

TALLOW AMINE 2 EO can be stored for at least to 2 years in original sealed containers at room temperature under the

recommended conditions.

Protect from exposure to

The properties of tallow fatty amine 2 ethoxylate are reversibly altered by exposure to cold. 

If TALLOW AMINE 2 EO becomes turbid, thickens, or freezes through exposure to cold, thaw slowly at room temperature and afterward stir briefly.
