Description

Peg-2 Cocamide CAS NO 61791-08-0 is a nonionic surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids and ethylene glycol. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, foam-boosting, and viscosity-modifying properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective, biodegradable, and mild-performance surfactants.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a foam stabilizer and thickener in shampoos, body washes, liquid soaps, and bubble baths.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Acts as an emulsifier and viscosity builder in dishwashing liquids, hard surface cleaners, and all-purpose cleaners.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and softener in various processing baths.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Employed in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and coolants.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Aids in pigment dispersion and stabilizes emulsion paints.
