Primarily, Triethanolamine is used in making surfactants. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor. It is used as a neutraliser for fatty acids. It is used to adjust and buffer the pH. It solubilises oils and other insoluble ingredients. In some specific cases Triethanolamine salts are more soluble than the alkali metal salts. It is used as an additive in cement production because it facilitates the grinding process. It is found in many ear-drops that are used for treating ear diseases and infections. It is also used as a complexing agent for aluminium ions in aqueous solutions. In photographic processing too Triethanolamine is very useful.

Calcium Formate 98% is used as an animal feed preservative. It acidifies the feed and by doing so, it prevents the growth of microbes and increases the shelf life of the feed. It prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi. It is used as a masking agent in chrome tanning of leather because it enhances the efficiency of leather penetration of the chrome. Calcium Formate is also used as a replacement of formic acid for the pickling process. It is also used as a grout and cement additive. It adds desirable properties to the final products. It helps increase hardness and decrease the setting time. It prevents the corrosion of metal substrates within cement or grout. It very effectively prevents efflorescence. Calcium Formate functions as a fire retardant in drywall. Its mixtures with urea are very effective deicers. These cause less corrosion of steel and cement surfaces.

AGRANA starch ethers are used in gypsum, slaked lime, cement and slaked cement to rapidly and reliably ensure the desired product consistency.
