2922.15.00.00 - Triethanolamine

This HTS classification, 2922.15.00.00, specifically covers Triethanolamine and its salts. Triethanolamine is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both amine and alcohol functional groups, with three ethanol groups attached to a nitrogen atom. It is widely used as a pH adjuster, emulsifier, and surfactant in a variety of industrial applications, including cosmetics, detergents, and metalworking fluids.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by the specific structure and number of ethanol groups attached to the amino function. For instance, 2922.11.00.00 covers monoethanolamine (one ethanol group) and 2922.12.00.01 covers diethanolamine (two ethanol groups). Other sibling categories, such as 2922.14.00.00 and 2922.16.00.00, cover distinct chemical compounds with specific pharmaceutical or industrial uses that differentiate them from the tri-substituted amino-alcohol nature of Triethanolamine.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within this specific classification. Classification at this level is based on the precise chemical identity of the substance, with Triethanolamine and its salts being the sole products covered under 2922.15.00.00.
