Description

Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl) Cocoamine Oxide is a versatile, high-performance tertiary amine oxide surfactant derived from natural coconut oil. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, wetting, and thickening properties, even in the presence of electrolytes and hard water. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking mild, biodegradable, and stable performance. Its compatibility with a wide range of other surfactants makes it a preferred choice for creating synergistic formulations.

Application

• Personal Care Products: Acts as a primary or secondary surfactant and foam booster in shampoos, body washes, bubble baths, and liquid soaps, providing a rich, stable lather and mildness to the skin.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Used in dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface cleaners for its superior grease-cutting ability, foam stability, and viscosity-building characteristics.
• Industrial & Textile Processing: Serves as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and antistatic agent in textile auxiliaries, metalworking fluids, and agrochemical formulations.
• Foam Stabilization: Employed in foam rubber, fire-fighting foams, and other applications where long-lasting, stable foam is required.
• Viscosity Modifier: Enhances the rheological profile of surfactant-based systems, allowing for precise control over product thickness and flow.
