Description

Amides, Coco is a mixture of fatty acid amides derived from coconut oil, characterized by the CAS registry number 61789-19-3. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its surfactant properties and its role as a precursor in the synthesis of more complex compounds. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial lubricants, and agrochemical sectors seeking reliable, high-quality feedstocks.

Application

• Surfactant and Emulsifier Production: Acts as a key intermediate in the manufacture of non-ionic surfactants, betaines, and amine oxides used in detergents and personal care products.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Utilized in the formulation of industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids to provide protective films on metal surfaces.
• Agrochemical Additives: Serves as a component in pesticide and herbicide formulations, enhancing spreadability and adhesion.
• Textile and Leather Processing: Employed as a softener, lubricant, and anti-static agent in fiber treatment and leather finishing.
• Foam Stabilizer: Used in the production of polyurethane foams and other polymeric materials to control cell structure.
• Viscosity Modifier: Functions as a thickening agent and rheology modifier in various industrial and cosmetic formulations.

Quality Control

Our Amides, Coco is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent composition, purity, and performance characteristics. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as amine value, amide content, and color are provided to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). This material is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) when in partially used containers to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
