CDEA/6501 Coconut Diethanolamide

CDEA/6501 Coconut Diethanolamide is a coconut fatty-acid diethanolamide mixture supplied as a yellow to light-yellow transparent viscous liquid. It is widely used as a functional non-ionic surfactant in liquid detergents, dishwashing products, personal-care products, textile-processing systems, and other specialty formulations. The material is valued for its ability to enhance and stabilize foam, increase viscosity, support emulsification, improve wetting, and assist the dispersion of formulation components. It also provides good compatibility with a range of surfactant systems, including commonly used anionic surfactants. In detergent and cleansing applications, CDEA can contribute to product body, foam structure, wetting performance, cleaning support, and stability under hard-water conditions. It is also used in selected textile, cosmetic, ink, polish, and industrial cleaning applications where its surfactant and viscosity-modifying characteristics are required. The referenced 78% grade specification controls active matter, pH, colour, glycerin content, amine value, free oil, moisture, and physical appearance. Final suitability should be determined according to the intended application, supplier-specific technical documentation, applicable Safety Data Sheet, and relevant regulatory requirements.

Store in securely closed and appropriately labeled compatible containers under suitable industrial storage conditions. Protect the material from contamination, excessive heat, prolonged direct sunlight, and incompatible substances. Cocamide DEA should be handled according to the supplier-specific Safety Data Sheet and applicable workplace chemical-safety requirements. Direct exposure should be minimized because concentrated material may irritate the skin and can cause serious eye damage. For cosmetic and personal-care applications, formulation suitability and regulatory compliance should be confirmed for the intended market, particularly with regard to impurity control and restrictions associated with nitrosating systems. Storage, transportation, spill management, and disposal should follow applicable regulations and the technical and safety documentation supplied by the actual PBL supplier.
