Cocamide MEA CAS 68140-00-1

Cocamide MEA is a coconut fatty acid monoethanolamide commonly used in personal care and detergent formulations as a nonionic surfactant, foam stabilizer, and viscosity builder. In commercial supply, this product is generally handled as a formulation raw material rather than a single narrowly defined pure compound. It is widely selected for shampoo, shower gel, foam bath, hand wash, liquid soap, and related rinse-off systems where stable foam, improved body, and better formulation texture are required. Standard export supply can be arranged, with COA, TDS, and SDS available according to customer requirements.

Typical Applications

Shampoo formulations
Body wash and shower gel
Hand wash and liquid soap
Foam bath products
Selected cleansing and detergent systems requiring improved foam and viscosity response

Actual application suitability should be confirmed according to formulation design, target viscosity, surfactant balance, and local regulatory requirements.

Functional Role

Cocamide MEA is generally used as a nonionic surfactant and performance aid in cleansing formulations. In supplier practice, it is commonly positioned as a foam booster and viscosity builder that helps improve foam richness, foam stability, and product texture in rinse-off systems.

Typical Supply Form

This product is commonly supplied as solid flakes or pellet-like material for downstream formulation use. Product grade, appearance, and routine specification may vary according to the agreed supply standard.

Packaging

Cocamide MEA can be supplied in sealed industrial packaging suitable for export and routine warehousing. Packaging arrangement can be made according to order volume, shipment method, and customer requirements.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place in tightly closed original packaging. Protect from excessive heat, moisture, direct sunlight, and contamination. Proper storage helps maintain handling quality during transportation and warehousing.
