Cocamide DEA (Coconut Diethanolamide 1:1 Molar Ratio), also known as Ninol, is chemically named coconut oil fatty acid diethanolamide (CDEA), CAS number 68603-42-9. It is a nonionic surfactant that appears as a pale yellow to yellow viscous liquid at room temperature.
Available in three formulations based on raw material ratio (1:1, 1:1.5, and 1:2), this product is produced by reacting fatty acid methyl esters with diethanolamine under an alkaline catalyst. It possesses excellent thickening, foam stabilizing, detergency, and calcium soap dispersing abilities.
With good compatibility that allows compounding with various surfactants, it produces rich and stable foam with outstanding detergency and degreasing effects. Widely used in daily chemical washing, industrial cleaning, and textile printing and dyeing industries, it serves as a core auxiliary ingredient in laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and industrial detergents.
| Specifications | Appearance (25℃) | Total Amine Value (mgKOH/g) | HLB Value | pH Value (1% aqueous solution) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:1 Molar Ratio | Yellow viscous liquid | 10~50 | 3~7 | 9~10.5 |
| 1:1.5 Molar Ratio | Yellow viscous liquid | 80~120 | 14~18 | 9~11 |
| 1:2 Molar Ratio | Yellow viscous liquid | 120~160 | 24~28 | 9~11 |
Cocamide DEA 1:1 Molar Ratio possesses cleaning, emulsifying, and softening properties, and exhibits excellent foam stabilizing effects on anionic surfactants.
