DEHA products are manufactured by the reaction of a triethylamine and a peroxide, followed by purification and distillation.  Taminco manufactures anhydrous and 85% DEHA and these two products function primary as radical and oxygen scavenges.  DEHA is widely used in numerous applications and markets, which include water treatment, polymer manufacture, refinery chemicals and many more niche applications.

DEHA in Niche Markets: DEHA finds additional uses in the microelectronics industry.  For example, DEHA is formulated to remove residual photoresist and other residue from microelectronic parts.  DEHA is also blended with other chemicals to produce good color development in the photographic industry.  The reduction of toxic heavy metals such as hexavalent chromium to their more environmentally-friendly counterparts such as trivalent chromium is done using an aqueous solution containing DEHA.
