Products Description
- Cocamide MEA is a surfactant made by reacting coconut oil-derived fatty acids (mainly coconut acid) with monoethanolamine. It is widely used in personal care and cleaning products, especially in shampoos, shower gels and other cleansers.
- Cocamide MEA has certain solubility in water, though its solubility is relatively limited. It is more soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and chloroform. Its solubility will increase in hot water, and it can form a uniform dispersion system.
- Cocamide MEA is a multifunctional surfactant with multiple functions such as cleaning, thickening and foam stabilization. Its wide application in personal care and cleaning products makes it one of the most important ingredients in modern skin care and cleaning formulations.
