Tetraethylammonium hydroxide solution (35 wt. % in H2O) may be used as an organic structure-directing agent (SDA)/template in the synthesis of mesoporous molecular sieves and zeolite samples.
Alkaline catalyst, solvent for certain types of
dyes, metal-plating solutions.
Tetraethylammonium hydroxide is a strong organic base and finds applications in photovoltaic chemicals, advanced ceramics, flat panel display chemicals, selective etching and transesterification catalysts.
The product is 20wt.% solution of tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEA hydroxide, TENOH) in H2O. TEA hydroxide is a quaternary ammonium hydroxide (QAH). It participates in the synthesis of zeolite beta. TENOH peptized titania aqueous sols have been employed in the preparation of nanocrystalline anatase films.
Strong irritant to skin and tissue.
