Description

Behenamide Dea is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant derived from behenic acid and diethanolamine. This compound is valued for its excellent thickening, foam-boosting, and conditioning properties, making it a versatile ingredient for demanding formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors for its ability to enhance product texture and performance.

Application

• As a primary or secondary surfactant and thickener in shampoos, conditioners, and body washes.
• Used in cosmetic creams and lotions to provide a rich, luxurious feel and stabilize emulsions.
• Acts as a foam booster and viscosity modifier in liquid soaps and hand cleansers.
• Employed in industrial and institutional cleaning formulations for its detergency and foam stability.
• Serves as an emulsifier and dispersant in various chemical processing applications.
• Functions as a conditioning agent in hair care products to improve manageability and shine.
