Product Name

Coconut Oil Monoethanolamide (CMEA), CAS Number: 68140 - 00 - 1

Product Overview

Coconut Oil Monoethanolamide is a nonionic surfactant that has a wide range of applications in cosmetics, detergents, and many other industries. It has excellent thickening, foam - stabilizing, emulsifying, and detergency properties, which can effectively improve the quality and performance of products.

Chemical Properties

Physical Properties

It usually appears as a white to light - yellow flaky solid with no obvious odor. The melting point is between 70 - 76 °C, and the density is approximately 0.98 g/cm³. It has poor solubility in water but can be dispersed in hot water to form a colloidal solution. It has a certain solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether.

Chemical Reactivity

The molecular structure contains an amide bond (-CONH-), which gives it good stability and hydrolysis resistance. The amide bond endows it with a certain hydrophilicity, while the long - chain alkyl group shows lipophilicity. This special structure enables it to form a stable adsorption layer at the oil - water interface, thereby playing roles such as emulsification and dispersion. At the same time, it can also produce a synergistic effect with other surfactants and enhance the overall surface activity.

Application Fields

Cosmetics Industry

In products such as shampoos and body washes, it can be used as a thickener and foam stabilizer. It can increase the viscosity of the product, making it easier for shampoos and body washes to adhere to the hair and skin during use. At the same time, it stabilizes the foam, making the foam more abundant, fine, and long - lasting, providing consumers with a better user experience. It can also be used in skin care products such as creams and lotions to play a role in emulsification and formula stabilization, helping the active ingredients to be evenly dispersed in the product and improving the texture of the product, making it more delicate and smooth.

Detergent Industry

It is often used in the formulations of laundry detergents, dishwashing detergents, and other detergents. As an emulsifier, it helps to remove oil and stains and improves the detergency of the detergent. When compounded with other surfactants, it can enhance the stability and washing effect of the entire detergent system, making clothes and tableware cleaner.

Industrial Field

In some industrial lubricants, metalworking fluids, and other products, Coconut Oil Monoethanolamide can be used as an emulsifier and rust inhibitor. It can evenly mix the oil and water phases to form a stable emulsion and form a protective film on the metal surface to prevent metal rusting and corrosion.

Storage and Safety

Storage Conditions

It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well - ventilated warehouse, avoiding direct sunlight and high - temperature environments. High temperatures may cause the product to melt or deteriorate, affecting its performance and quality. The storage container should be well - sealed to prevent the product from absorbing moisture or reacting with oxygen, water, etc. in the air.

Safety Precautions

Generally, Coconut Oil Monoethanolamide has relatively low irritation to human skin and eyes. However, it is still recommended to wear protective equipment such as protective glasses and gloves during the operation to prevent accidental contact. If it accidentally contacts the eyes or skin, rinse immediately with a large amount of water and seek medical attention as appropriate. During the use process, avoid mixing it with strong oxidizers, strong acids, and strong alkalis to prevent chemical reactions.
