Description

Coco Imidazoline Monocarboxylate is a versatile amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids and imidazoline chemistry. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and corrosion-inhibiting properties, making it a critical component in formulations requiring mildness and stability. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and metalworking industries to enhance product performance and safety.

Application

• Primary surfactant and foam booster in mild personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Key ingredient in industrial and institutional cleaning formulations for its superior detergency and compatibility with other surfactants.
• Corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in metalworking fluids and industrial lubricants.
• Emulsifying agent for agricultural chemical formulations, including pesticides and herbicides.
• Additive in textile processing for its softening and antistatic properties.
• Component in oilfield chemicals for demulsification and corrosion protection.
• Intermediate for the synthesis of other betaine and amphoteric surfactants.

Quality Control

Our Coco Imidazoline Monocarboxylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, pH, and active matter content is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistency and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; prolonged storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) is recommended for optimal long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
