TRIETHANOLAMINE

As a pharmaceutical aid, it has been combined with fatty acids such as stearic and oleic acids and used as an emulsifier and as an alkalinizing agent. It has also been used for reducing dithranol-induced staining of the skin (S Sweetman , 1998; Budavari, 1996) (Benya & Harbison, 1994).
Ear drops with triethanolamine polypeptide oleate-condensate 10% have been used for removal of ear wax. Triethanolamine has been combined with salicylic acid in topical preparations as an analgesic (S Sweetman , 1998).
It is an intermediate used in the manufacture of household detergents, soaps, cosmetics, polishes, and waxes (Budavari, 1996). It is used with fatty acids as emulsifiers for creams, lotions, skin cleaners, and shampoos (Harbison, 1998; Melnick & Thomaszewski, 1990). It is also used in adhesives for food packaging (Zenz, 1994).
Triethanolamine is also used as an antifoam agent, water repellant, corrosion inhibitor, softener, oil emulsifier, humectant, plasticizer, chelator, rubber accelerator, solvent (for casein, shellac, and dyes), and to increase the penetration of organic liquids into wood and paper. It is used in herbicides, cement additives, toilet goods, and cutting oils and as an intermediate in the manufacture of synthetic resins and surface active agents (Budavari, 1996).

FORMS

Triethanolamine is a hygroscopic, viscous liquid which has a slight odor of ammonia. It turns brown upon exposure to light and air (Budavari, 1996). It is miscible with water, methanol and acetone, and is soluble in chloroform, benzene and ether (S Sweetman , 1998; ACGIH, 1996; Budavari, 1996).
Triethanolamine is an ethanolamine compound and a moderately strong base (Grant & Schuman, 1993).

SOURCES

Triethanolamine is produced by ammonolysis of ethylene oxide and then separated by distillation (Melnick & Thomaszewski, 1990; Budavari, 1996).

-CLINICAL EFFECTS

GENERAL CLINICAL EFFECTS

USES: It is an intermediate used in the manufacture of many commercial and household products. PHARMACEUTICAL: As a pharmaceutical aid, it has been combined with fatty acids such as stearic and oleic acids and used as an emulsifier and as an alkalinizing agent. It has also been used for reducing dithranol-induced staining of the skin. PERSONAL CARE: It is used with fatty acids as emulsifiers for creams, lotions, skin cleaners, and shampoos. HOUSEHOLD: It is used in the manufacture of household detergents, soaps, cosmetics, polishes, and waxes.

TOXICOLOGY: Triethanolamine is produced by ammonolysis of ethylene oxide and then separated by distillation. It is a hygroscopic, viscous liquid which has a slight odor of ammonia, and turns brown upon exposure to light and air.

ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: Primarily via the skin, with some exposure occurring from inhalation of vapor and aerosols.

WITH POISONING/EXPOSURE

OVERDOSE: Limited human data following acute or chronic exposure.
ACUTE EXPOSURE: Triethanolamine is found in many occupational and consumer products; therefore there is considerable opportunity for exposure. It is anticipated to have low acute toxicity, with effects mainly resulting from its alkalinity (pH 9 to 11 in water). Significant caustic injury is not expected from this substance. Triethanolamine is a skin and eye irritant. The degree of irritancy depends upon triethanolamine concentration, exposure duration, and site. INHALATION: Irritant gases (nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide) and carbon monoxide can be produced when triethanolamine is heated to decomposition.

ANIMAL DATA: Large doses of triethanolamine produced minimal toxicity when administered orally to laboratory animals.

CHRONIC EXPOSURE: Based on data from animal studies, triethanolamine is anticipated to have low chronic toxicity under typical human exposure conditions. Key concerns are possible sensitization, irritation, and potential carcinogenicity. Human reports of dermal sensitization or asthma have been confounded by exposure to other chemicals or to ethanolamines and other chemicals at high temperatures.

ANIMAL DATA: Experimental animal studies have been negative for dermal and respiratory sensitization. The carcinogenic potential of triethanolamine is uncertain due to conflicting or equivocal study results. Nephrotoxicity (primary effect), hepatic congestion, and demyelination of peripheral and sciatic nerve fibers have been reported in laboratory animals following long-term oral administration of triethanolamine. Skin irritation and ulceration have been reported following repeated, subchronic, and chronic topical exposure in laboratory animals, but triethanolamine has failed to produce sensitization following dermal application.

Editor's Note: An ERG guide with information appropriate to this material does not exist.

ACUTE CLINICAL EFFECTS

Triethanolamine is a skin and eye irritant (Sax, 1984) (Schmidt, 1974). It may be absorbed through intact skin (Clayton & Clayton, 1982). In acute exposure studies in experimental animals, it was not appreciably toxic when administered orally (RTECS).

CHRONIC CLINICAL EFFECTS

One source stated that there have been no industrial injuries from triethanolamine (Clayton & Clayton, 1982); however, there have been several reports of persons becoming sensitized to this compound as an ingredient of cutting oils or detergents (Alomar, 1985) Ilizarov, 1968; (Herman, 1983). It has caused eczema (Venediktova & Gudina, 1976) and also a single case of intractable sneezing (Herman, 1983).

In long-term exposure studies in experimental animals, triethanolamine caused liver and kidney damage (Kindsvatter, 1940).

-FIRST AID

FIRST AID AND PREHOSPITAL TREATMENT

DERMAL EXPOSURE

Remove contaminated clothing.
DECONTAMINATION: Remove contaminated clothing and wash exposed area thoroughly with soap and water for 10 to 15 minutes. A physician may need to examine the area if irritation or pain persists (Burgess et al, 1999).
Seek immediate medical attention if there are signs and/or symptoms of adverse effects, or if there is considerable dermal contact.

EYE EXPOSURE

Check the victim for contact lenses and remove them if present.
EYE IRRIGATION, ROUTINE: Remove contact lenses and irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of room temperature 0.9% saline or water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia persist after 15 minutes of irrigation, an ophthalmologic examination should be performed (Peate, 2007; Naradzay & Barish, 2006).
Seek medical attention.

INHALATIONAL EXPOSURE

Move patient from the toxic environment to fresh air. Monitor for respiratory distress. If cough or difficulty in breathing develops, evaluate for hypoxia, respiratory tract irritation, bronchitis, or pneumonitis.
OBSERVATION: Carefully observe patients with inhalation exposure for the development of any systemic signs or symptoms and administer symptomatic treatment as necessary.
INITIAL TREATMENT: Administer 100% humidified supplemental oxygen, perform endotracheal intubation and provide assisted ventilation as required. Administer inhaled beta-2 adrenergic agonists, if bronchospasm develops. Consider systemic corticosteroids in patients with significant bronchospasm (National Heart,Lung,and Blood Institute, 2007). Exposed skin and eyes should be flushed with copious amounts of water.

INGESTION EXPOSURE

Do NOT induce vomiting, due to the potential irritating or corrosive effects of this chemical and the anticipated low toxicity by ingestion. If the victim is conscious and not seizing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and immediately call a hospital or poison control center. Transport the victim to a hospital (Radian Corporation, 1991).
If the victim is seizing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the airway is open, and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Transport to the hospital (Radian Corporation, 1991).

ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

It is not known if activated charcoal is useful in triethanolamine ingestion.
PREHOSPITAL ACTIVATED CHARCOAL ADMINISTRATION

Consider prehospital administration of activated charcoal as an aqueous slurry in patients with a potentially toxic ingestion who are awake and able to protect their airway. Activated charcoal is most effective when administered within one hour of ingestion. Administration in the prehospital setting has the potential to significantly decrease the time from toxin ingestion to activated charcoal administration, although it has not been shown to affect outcome (Alaspaa et al, 2005; Thakore & Murphy, 2002; Spiller & Rogers, 2002).

In patients who are at risk for the abrupt onset of seizures or mental status depression, activated charcoal should not be administered in the prehospital setting, due to the risk of aspiration in the event of spontaneous emesis.
The addition of flavoring agents (cola drinks, chocolate milk, cherry syrup) to activated charcoal improves the palatability for children and may facilitate successful administration (Guenther Skokan et al, 2001; Dagnone et al, 2002).

CHARCOAL DOSE

Use a minimum of 240 milliliters of water per 30 grams charcoal (FDA, 1985). Optimum dose not established; usual dose is 25 to 100 grams in adults and adolescents; 25 to 50 grams in children aged 1 to 12 years (or 0.5 to 1 gram/kilogram body weight) ; and 0.5 to 1 gram/kilogram in infants up to 1 year old (Chyka et al, 2005).

Routine use of a cathartic with activated charcoal is NOT recommended as there is no evidence that cathartics reduce drug absorption and cathartics are known to cause adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, electrolyte imbalances and occasionally hypotension (None Listed, 2004).

ADVERSE EFFECTS/CONTRAINDICATIONS

Complications: emesis, aspiration (Chyka et al, 2005). Aspiration may be complicated by acute respiratory failure, ARDS, bronchiolitis obliterans or chronic lung disease (Golej et al, 2001; Graff et al, 2002; Pollack et al, 1981; Harris & Filandrinos, 1993; Elliot et al, 1989; Rau et al, 1988; Golej et al, 2001; Graff et al, 2002). Refer to the ACTIVATED CHARCOAL/TREATMENT management for further information.
Contraindications: unprotected airway (increases risk/severity of aspiration) , nonfunctioning gastrointestinal tract, uncontrolled vomiting, and ingestion of most hydrocarbons (Chyka et al, 2005).

-HANDLING AND STORAGE

SUMMARY

INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS

Avoid contact with triethanolamine by using the appropriate protective equipment. Protective equipment recommendations provided by the RADIAN CORPORATION (1991) are as follow:

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

Where the undiluted chemical is weighed and then diluted, wear a NIOSH-approved half face respirator or a full face respirator, equipped with an organic vapor/acid gas cartridge specific for organic vapors, hydrogen chloride (HCl), acid gas and sulfur dioxide (SO2) with a dust/mist filter.

EYE PROTECTION

Splash proof safety goggles should be worn during handling of triethanolamine. A full face respirator equipped as described under RESPIRATORY PROTECTION will also provide eye protection.

DERMAL PROTECTION

Use Tyvex-type disposable protective clothing, or at a minimum, wear disposable Tyvex-type sleeves taped to gloves. Recommend gloves for use with the undiluted chemical:

Latex (Ackwell, 0.15 mm thickness)
Butyl rubber (North B-174, 0.64 mm thickness)
Nitrile (Edmont 37-155, 0.36 mm thickness)
Neoprene (Edmont, 0.51 mm thickness)

If the glove is torn, punctured or a hole develops, the glove should be immediately replaced.

SPILLS

Use absorbent paper to pick up all spilled liquid material. Seal the used absorbent paper and any contaminated clothing in a vapor-tight plastic bag for disposal. Wash contaminated surfaces with soap and water. Re-enter contaminated areas after the Safety Officer has verified that the areas has been properly cleaned.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This section provides a compilation of chemical resistance information and test data for specific protective clothing products. Chemical resistance information includes both degradation resistance ratings and permeation resistance data. This information is designed to assist in the selection of appropriate protective clothing. Only data on specific products and manufacturers are included. Generic information or recommendations are not provided since significant differences can exist in the chemical resistance for apparent similar product types.
Specific product information is organized by general product type (gloves, garments, and footwear), material type, and manufacturer. The category 'garments' may include totally encapsulating suits, splash suits, as well as other items (e.g., coveralls, jackets, and aprons). Specific manufacturers should be contacted to determine the features of available styles/models.
In addition to chemical resistance information, there are many critical variables in the selection of protective clothing which cannot be represented in this summary of the literature. Some factors to be considered in choosing protective clothing include, but are not limited to: overall clothing integrity, physical hazard resistance, durability, human factors, ease of decontamination, and cost. Overall clothing integrity refers to a specific design's ability to offer consistent protection for all clothing-covered areas of the body. Physical hazards include resisting the effects of abrasion, cuts, tears, and punctures. Human factors entail effects on wearer mobility, visibility, and hearing for garments; dexterity, tactility, and grip for gloves; ankle support and weight for footwear; and, any effect of the clothing on the function of the wearer. There are several variations in the design for gloves, garments, and footwear that affect these factors. Protective clothing must properly be sized and correctly fit the wearer to ensure its proper use and function.
As required in the U.S.A., protective clothing should be selected based on a risk assessment of the workplace. This risk assessment must account for the identification of existing as well as potential hazards and involve the recommendation of protective clothing appropriate for the identified hazards. Therefore, the recommendations in this section should not be used as the sole basis for decisions on choice of protective clothing, but rather should be used as a tool by qualified occupational health and safety professionals or other technically qualified persons in conjunction with a review of all mitigating factors. Consult the OSHA PPE Standard (29 CFR 1910.132 - 1910.138) for regulations and additional guidance regarding the selection and use of protective clothing and equipment. For general information on protective clothing selection, refer to the "PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT - OSHA PUB 3077" document.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SELECTION

Determine the type of protective clothing item needed based on a risk assessment (e.g., gloves, garments, footwear).
For high risk situations, choose clothing that covers all parts of the body that may be exposed. In many cases, multiple clothing items will be required. Low risk situations may permit partial body protective clothing. Select protective clothing products that have reported chemical resistance data. High risk situations involving full body clothing or extended chemical contact often require permeation resistance data to determine the barrier effectiveness of materials used in the construction of clothing. Relatively low risk situations, where only splash or incidental exposure occur, may allow use of protective clothing based on degradation or penetration resistance data. Specifics on the interpretation of chemical resistance data are presented below.
Other factors must be considered in addition to chemical resistance. The selected chemical protective clothing item should offer the optimal combination of protection against identified hazards while allowing maximum function and comfort.

INTERPRETATION OF DEGRADATION RATINGS

Degradation refers to physical changes in a material as the result of chemical exposure. Degradation may become evident in visible changes, such as discoloration, swelling, delamination, deterioration, or disintegration. Degradation effects may also be measured by weight change or other changes in a material's physical properties (e.g., strength, elasticity, hardness).
Degradation resistance ratings are provided by manufacturers to rate the amount of degradation that occurs for a particular protective clothing material when contacted by a chemical. All degradation ratings are qualitative and include ratings, such as "EXCELLENT," "GOOD," "FAIR," "POOR," and "NOT RECOMMENDED." There is no standard test method for the measurement of chemical degradation resistance; therefore, manufacturer ratings may be based on different testing approaches. This makes comparison of degradation ratings between manufacturers unreliable.
The use of degradation resistance ratings alone to recommend protective clothing, particularly for high hazard situations, should be avoided. Degradation resistance testing does not directly assess the barrier quality of protective clothing, since materials can show relatively little degradation but still allow either permeation or penetration by a chemical. Degradation resistance ratings can be used to exclude protective clothing materials from consideration. Protective clothing materials with a "NOT RECOMMENDED" degradation resistance rating should never be used.
For some products, the rating "NO PENETRATION" is provided. This refers to penetration resistance test results that are based on a different procedure (American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Test Method F 903). Penetration resistance testing involves placing a material sample in a test cell, exposing the exterior side of the material to a chemical, and then observing the interior side of the material for visible signs of liquid penetration. Part of the test is conducted at an elevated pressure. Test results are reported as pass (no penetration) or fail (penetration detected). Unlike degradation testing, penetration testing provides an assessment of protective clothing material barrier performance. Since penetration resistance testing examines only observable amounts of liquid penetration, permeation may still occur. The use of penetration resistance data must be restricted to liquid chemicals, and should be limited to scenarios where there is no reasonable vapor exposure hazard under the conditions of exposure.

INTERPRETATION OF PERMEATION DATA

Permeation is the process of chemical movement through a material on a molecular level. Permeation resistance refers to the ability of a material to retard or prevent chemical movement through it. Permeation may occur without any visible signs of degradation.
Permeation resistance is measured using a test cell which is divided into two halves by a protective clothing specimen. Chemical is placed on the challenge side, while the collection side is periodically monitored for permeating chemical. Permeation data were obtained in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Test Method F 739 (Resistance of Materials Used in Protective Clothing to Permeation by Liquids and Gases), unless stated otherwise. In the case of chemicals that are classified as warfare agents, the data were obtained in accordance with the Military Standard 282 (MIL-STD-282) (Military Standard, Filter Units, Protective Clothing, Gas-Mask Components, and Related Products: Performance Test Methods).
Permeation rate is the amount of chemical that passes through a material for a measured surface area per unit time. In this section, permeation rate is expressed in micrograms per square centimeter per minute (mcg/cm(2)/min). The reported permeation rate is either the steady-state rate or the maximum rate observed during testing. In some cases, very large permeation rates exceed measurement techniques and are reported as ">" (greater than) or "HIGH."
Breakthrough time is the elapsed time, in minutes, from the time the chemical comes in contact with the material exterior surface, to the time that chemical is detected on the interior surface. When no breakthrough is detected, the breakthrough time is report as ">" the testing period. If permeation breakthrough is rapid, results are reported as "<" (less than) the earlier sampling time or as "IMMEDIATELY" (which usually means breakthrough in less than 4 minutes).
The breakthrough time should exceed the expected use period of the selected protective clothing. Additionally, there are several other factors that must be taken into account to provide appropriate protection.
Permeation testing is usually conducted with full strength, undiluted chemical for the duration of the test period. Actual exposures may involve diluted chemical for short or intermittent exposure periods.
Permeation testing is usually conducted at room temperature. Permeation occurs faster at elevated temperatures (short breakthrough times and higher permeation rates) and slower at reduced temperatures (long breakthrough times and lower permeation rates).
Permeation resistance of mixtures cannot usually be determined on the basis of the individual chemicals making up the mixture. Synergistic effects may occur and result in more rapid permeation than accounted for by the individual mixture chemicals.
Permeation rates may be used to calculate potential wearer exposure; however, several assumptions must be made about the extent of exposure and condition of clothing wear. Furthermore, there are few chemicals with dermal exposure limits, making it difficult to determine an acceptable skin exposure level.

FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION

NFPA Flammability Rating for CAS102-71-6 (NFPA, 2002):

Listed as: Triethanolamine
Flammability Rating: 1

(1) Slightly combustible. Materials that require considerable preheating before ignition can occur. This rating includes most ordinary combustible materials.

FIRE CONTROL/EXTINGUISHING AGENTS

Editor's Note: An ERG guide with information appropriate to this material does not exist.

NFPA Extinguishing Methods for CAS102-71-6 (NFPA, 2002):

Listed as: Triethanolamine
Extinguishing Method(s): 2, 5

2: "Water or foam may cause frothing" refers to a situation where materials with a flash point above 212 degrees F (100 degrees C) are burning. Potentially violent frothing can be dangerous to fire fighters near the burning liquid. However, when highly viscous liquids are burning, fire fighters can intentionally cause frothing on the liquid surface to prevent further introduction of oxygen.
5: Flammable liquid fires can be extinguished using carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, and vaporizing liquid extinguishers, as long as the fires are small to moderate in size and the flammable liquid reservoir is shallow. Use of foam to form a blanket over a flammable liquid is not effective when the liquid is water-soluble. Certain alcohol resistant foams are effective extinguishing agents for polar, non-polar, and water-soluble liquid fires. These foams are preferred for fighting flammable liquid fires except those that involve water reactive flammable liquids.

REACTIVITY HAZARD

Can react vigorously with oxidizing materials and acids (Radian Corporation, 1991; Lewis, 1996).
