Description

Cocoamine CAS NO 61788-46-3 is a primary amine derived from coconut oil fatty acids, serving as a versatile cationic surfactant and chemical intermediate. Its value lies in its ability to impart cationic properties, enabling functions such as emulsification, corrosion inhibition, and surface modification across diverse industrial processes. This product is essential for manufacturers in sectors including agrochemicals, personal care, water treatment, and oilfield chemicals who require a reliable, bio-based amine for synthesis and formulation.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediates: Key raw material for synthesizing quaternary ammonium salts used as herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Formulated into products for protecting metal surfaces in industrial cooling systems, boilers, and oil & gas pipelines.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a precursor for cationic surfactants in hair conditioners, cream rinses, and skin care products for their softening and antistatic properties.
• Water Treatment Chemicals: Acts as a flocculant and biocide intermediate in municipal and industrial water purification processes.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in the formulation of drilling mud additives, demulsifiers, and corrosion inhibitors for upstream operations.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Serves as a softening agent, dye leveling agent, and antistatic agent in fabric processing.
• Asphalt Additives: Improves adhesion and coating properties in road construction and roofing materials.
• Mineral Flotation: Used as a collector agent in the beneficiation of ores such as potash and silica.

Quality Control

Our Cocoamine is manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by titration, amine value determination, and identification by FT-IR spectroscopy. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, color, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and contact with air.
