- 2.8 Carcinogenicity
- Results of carcinogenicitystudies have been controversial. Hoshino and Tanooka reported that triethanolamine in the diet of mice at levelsof 0.03% or 0.3% caused a significant increase in theoccurrence of tumors, both benign and malignant. Femalesshowed a 32% increase, mostly of thymic lymphomas. Theincrease of all other tumors, in both sexes, was 8.2%. Theyalso found that triethanolamine reacted with sodium nitriteto produce N-nitrosodiethanolamine and that the productcaused mutagenesis in bacteria. Maekawa et al.reported that no carcinogenic activity was found whengiven orally to rats in drinking water at concentrations of1% and 2% for 2 years. However, the dosage tofemales was halved after week 69 of treatment owing tonephrotoxicity. Histological examination of renal damagein treated animals revealed acceleration of chronicnephropathy, mineralization of the renal papilla, nodularhyperplasia of the pelvic mucosa, and pyelonephritis withor without papillary necrosis. Nephrotoxicity seemed toaffect life span adversely, especially in females. Tumorincidence and histology were the same in the treated groupas in controls.

- 3.3 General Description
- Triethanolamine is a colorless oily liquid with the smell of ammonia. It is easy to absorb water and will turn into brown color when being exposed to the air and the light. At low temperature, it will become colorless or pale yellow cubic crystal. It is miscible with water, methanol and acetone. It is soluble in benzene, ether, slightly soluble in carbon tetrachloride, n-heptane. It is a kind of strong alkaline, combining with protons, can be used for condensation reaction.
- 3.4 Potential Exposure
- Monoethanolamine is widely used inindustry for scrubbing acid gases and in production ofdetergents and alkanolamide surfactants; to remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen from natural gas, to remove hydrogensulfide and carbonyl sulfide; as an alkaline conditioningagent; as an intermediate for soaps, detergents, dyes, andtextile agents. Diethanolamine is an absorbent for gases; asolubilizer for 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D); anda softener and emulsifier intermediate for detergents. It alsofinds use in the dye and textile industry. Triethanolamine isused as plasticizers, neutralizer for alkaline dispersions;lubricant additive; corrosion inhibitor; and in the manufacture of soaps, detergents, shampoos, shaving preparations;face and hand creams; cements, cutting oils, insecticides,surface active agents; waxes, polishes, and herbicides.
- 3.5 Produe Method
- Triethanolamine is prepared commercially by the ammonolysis ofethylene oxide. The reaction yields a mixture of monoethanolamine,diethanolamine, and triethanolamine, which are separated toobtain the pure products.
- 3.6 Purification Methods
- Shake the amine gently with Linde type 4A molecular sieves for 24hours, filter and fractionate it under a vacuum, and preferably in the presence of N2. Store it in dark stoppered bottles under N2 as it is hygroscopic, and turns brown in air and light. It has a strong ammoniacal odour (like diethanolamine). It is miscible with H2O, MeOH and Me2CO, and its solubilities at 25o in n-heptane, Et2O and *C6H6 are 0.4%, 1.6% and 4.2%, respectively. [See diethanolamine above, Beilstein 4 IV 1524.]

- 4.3 Other Preventative Measures
- SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.

- 4.10 Incompatibilities
- Triethanolamine is a tertiary amine that contains hydroxy groups; itis capable of undergoing reactions typical of tertiary amines and alcohols. Triethanolamine will react with mineral acids to formcrystalline salts and esters. With the higher fatty acids, triethanolamineforms salts that are soluble in water and have characteristicsof soaps. Triethanolamine will also react with copper to formcomplex salts. Discoloration and precipitation can take place in thepresence of heavy metal salts.Triethanolamine can react with reagents such as thionyl chlorideto replace the hydroxy groups with halogens. The products of thesereactions are very toxic, resembling other nitrogen mustards.
