Cocamide Methyl Monoethanolamide

General Information

• Product Name: Cocamide Methyl Monoethanolamide
• CAS: 371967-96-3
• Catalog: SUR-NON-004
• Applications: Personal care products, household cleaning products, industrial cleaners, others

Introduction

Cocamide methyl monoethanolamide (CMMEA) is a high-quality non-ionic surfactant synthesized from refined coconut oil and palm kernel oil using advanced processing techniques. Renowned for its mildness, safety, and superior performance, CMMEA is a versatile ingredient in various personal care and cleaning products.

Characteristics

CMMEA distinguishes itself through a combination of unique characteristics, making it a preferred choice in surfactant formulations:

• Mildness and Safety: It contains extremely low levels of free amines and is free from diethanolamine (DEA) and dioxane, ensuring that CMMEA is gentle on the skin and reduces the risk of irritation.
• Compatibility and Stability: It prevents color deepening at high temperatures and crystallization at low temperatures, ensuring product stability across a range of conditions.
• Viscosity and pH Stability: CMMEA exhibits stable viscosity under varying temperature and pH conditions. It also shows a lower tendency to form gels at low temperatures, ensuring a smooth and pleasant user experience. The pH impact on viscosity is also minimized, with a maximum change of 22%.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Due to its high efficiency, CMMEA can be used in lower quantities than traditional surfactants.
• Environmental Impact: CMMEA is derived from renewable resources, namely coconut oil and palm kernel oil, making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to synthetic surfactants.

Applications

The versatility of CMMEA extends across a wide array of applications, spanning multiple industries:

• Personal Care Products: CMMEA is widely used in personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, and hand soaps. Its mildness, foaming ability, and thickening properties enhance the sensory experience, leaving the skin feeling soft and clean. The absence of DEA and dioxane also ensures that these products are safe for daily use.
• Household Cleaning Products: In household cleaning products like dishwashing liquids and laundry detergents, CMMEA provides excellent emulsification and detergency. It effectively breaks down grease and grime, making it an ideal ingredient for high-performance cleaning formulations. Its stability and compatibility with other ingredients further enhance its suitability for these applications.
• Industrial Cleaners: CMMEA's robust performance and mildness make it suitable for use in industrial cleaning products. It can efficiently remove tough stains and soils without causing damage to surfaces or irritation to users.

Recommended Usage Ranges

The optimal dosage of CMMEA typically falls within the range of 0.5-3%.

This range ensures sufficient concentration to achieve desired thickening, foaming, and cleaning properties without overloading the formulation.

Packaging and Storage

• Packaging Options: Common packaging options include 1000kg, 200kg, and 50kg plastic barrels.
• Storage Conditions: CMMEA should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Ensuring that containers are tightly sealed when not in use will prevent contamination and degradation.

Cocamide methyl monoethanolamide represents a significant advancement in surfactant technology. Its combination of mildness, safety, superior performance, and cost-effectiveness makes it a valuable ingredient in a wide range of personal care, household, and industrial cleaning products.
