Description

Cocodimethylamine CAS NO 61788-93-0 is a tertiary amine surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids, valued for its cationic properties and excellent emulsifying and conditioning effects. This compound is a key intermediate and functional additive in the production of high-performance surfactants and specialty chemicals. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial surfactant sectors seeking reliable, bio-based raw materials.

Application

• Surfactant Intermediate: Primary raw material for the synthesis of quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) like cocotrimonium chloride, used in fabric softeners and hair conditioners.
• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a conditioning agent and emulsifier in hair care products (conditioners, creams) and skin care lotions.
• Home Care Products: Key ingredient in the manufacture of cationic surfactants for liquid fabric softeners and dryer sheets.
• Industrial Emulsifiers: Used in the formulation of emulsifiers for industrial lubricants, agrochemicals, and bitumen.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Serves as a precursor for filming amine corrosion inhibitors used in water treatment and oilfield applications.
• Antistatic Agents: Imparts antistatic properties in plastics processing and textile treatments.

Quality Control

Our Cocodimethylamine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent composition, amine value, and purity, meeting the specifications required for downstream synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as amine value, moisture content, and color are provided to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality standards.

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 maintain product integrity.
