Description

Coconut Diethanolamide CAS NO 68603-42-9 is a nonionic surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids and diethanolamine, renowned for its excellent thickening, foam boosting, and stabilizing properties. This versatile compound is a cornerstone ingredient for formulators seeking to enhance the viscosity and performance of aqueous systems. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors who require reliable, high-performance surfactants for their end products.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: A key foam booster and thickener in shampoos, liquid soaps, shower gels, and bubble baths.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Used in dishwashing liquids, hard surface cleaners, and laundry detergents for its superior grease-cutting and foam stability.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a lubricant, softener, and dyeing assistant in various processing stages.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and coolants.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Employed as a wetting agent and spreader in pesticide and herbicide formulations.
• Institutional & Janitorial Products: Provides viscosity control and foam enhancement in floor cleaners and car wash solutions.
