Diethanolamine Oleate Salt from Mexico
Diethanolamine oleate salt is formed by the reaction of diethanolamine with oleic acid, creating a chemically defined salt. It is used as an emulsifier in metalworking fluids and industrial lubricants. Under the Customs Tariff, salts of organic bases are classified with the base compound, and since diethanolamine is the amino-alcohol, it falls under this tariff item.
