SierraCor TOFA:AEEA

Chemical Name / INCI:

Tall Oil Fatty Acid - Aminoethylethanolamine Imidazoline

CAS #:

61791-39-7

Chemical Family:

Cationic Surfactants > Corrosion Inhibitors

OVERVIEW

SierraCor TOFA:AEEA is a tall-oil-based imidazoline made by reacting fatty acids with an amine to create a versatile, film-forming corrosion-inhibitor ingredient. Its chemistry allows it to bond to metal surfaces and form a protective barrier, making it useful in oilfield production lines, pipelines, and other systems where steel is exposed to moisture, salt, or harsh fluids. It’s commonly blended into corrosion-inhibitor packages used in the upstream and downstream oil and gas industry, helping extend equipment life and reduce maintenance by slowing rust and metal attack.
