Coconut oil monoethanolamide #CAS68140-00-1

Cocamide MEA belongs to nonionic alkanolamide surfactant. It possesses outstanding thickening, foaming promotion, foam stabilization and wetting properties. It has excellent compatibility with anionic, cationic and other nonionic surfactants, and can form stable compound systems with various surfactants. It is insoluble in cold water, but can disperse and dissolve gradually in hot water and polar organic solvents to form uniform colloidal dispersion. Its functional properties remain stable within weak acid to weak alkaline pH range. Under the conditions of high temperature, strong acid or strong alkali, amide bond will break and hydrolysis reaction occurs, which will lead to the decline of thickening capacity, foaming power and foam stability. It is low-irritating to skin and hair, and has mild conditioning effect. It shows certain hygroscopicity, and tends to absorb moisture when exposed to high-humidity air. It will not undergo violent chemical reaction under normal storage, transportation and application conditions. It has good lubricity and certain emulsifying performance, and can help reduce surface tension of aqueous system.

Applicaion of Coconut oil monoethanolamide

Cocamide MEA is a widely used nonionic alkanolamide surfactant with prominent thickening, foaming boosting and foam stabilizing capabilities. It is extensively incorporated into various personal care cleansing formulations, including shampoo, body wash, hand sanitizer, facial cleanser, bubble bath and mild hair care products. When compounded with anionic surfactants such as SLES and sodium lauryl sulfate, it can generate strong synergistic thickening effect, lift foam volume remarkably and maintain dense, stable foam for a long period. It helps reduce the irritation caused by primary surfactants to human skin and scalp, and delivers gentle conditioning performance to hair, improving hair softness and smoothness after rinsing. It is also a key functional additive for household cleaning supplies, such as dishwashing liquid, multi-purpose household cleaner and liquid soap. It can preserve stable cleaning and foaming performance under moderate hard water conditions. In industrial fields, it can serve as emulsifier, wetting agent, antistatic agent and lubricating auxiliary. It can be applied in textile auxiliary agents to promote fiber wetting, decrease static accumulation and assist stain removal during fabric scouring and finishing. It can also be used in low-irritation industrial water-based cleaning agents and some emulsion systems to stabilize emulsion structure and avoid phase separation. It exhibits excellent compatibility with anionic, cationic and other nonionic surfactants. It stays stable within weak acid to weak alkaline environment. Hydrolysis will take place under high temperature, strong acid or strong alkali surroundings, which will weaken its thickening and foaming functions. It has certain hygroscopicity when stored in high humidity environment, and no violent chemical reaction will occur under normal storage and application conditions.
