Does CE-10 identify a fixed molecule or a defined ten-EO coco amine grade?

It identifies a commercial coco-alkyl amine ethoxylate grade near ten EO units, not one fixed molecule. Coco feedstock is itself a chain-length mixture. Confirm average EO level, amine value, active matter, cloud-point method, physical form, and the intended formulation response.

What compatibility check is important when using CE-10 with anionic ingredients?

Coco amine ethoxylates can become more cationic as pH decreases, so compatibility cannot be inferred from the nonionic label alone. Test the actual pH range, order of addition, dilution, temperature and storage stability with the complete anionic formulation before scale-up.

Polyoxyethylene Coco Amine CE-10 CAS 61791-14-8

CE-10 (CAS 61791-14-8), also called Polyoxyethylene Coco Amine or PEG-10 Cocamine, is an ethoxylated coco alkyl amine with a nominal average near 10 EO units. It is used as a wetting, emulsifying, dispersing, antistatic and corrosion-inhibiting component in textile, cleaning, metalworking and agrochemical formulations. Confirm nominal EO, total and tertiary amine values, water and physical form against the current COA, TDS and SDS.

Identity and physicochemical profile

Item	Technical guidance
Product identity	Polyoxyethylene Coco Amine CE-10; ethoxylated coco alkyl amine with nominal average near 10 EO units
CAS / EC	61791-14-8 / 500-152-2
Nominal structure	R-N[(CH₂CH₂O)ₓH][(CH₂CH₂O)ᵧH], with nominal x+y near 10; alkyl and EO distributions are grade-dependent
Ionic behavior	More strongly protonated and cationic in acidic systems; predominantly nonionic behavior increases as protonation decreases
Typical quality controls	Total and tertiary amine values, nominal EO, water, appearance, color, pH and physical form using stated methods
Identity boundary	This CAS number describes ethoxylated coco amines, not coconut-oil ester or fatty-acid ester chemistry

Applications and grade selection

CE-10 is evaluated as a wetting, emulsifying, dispersing, antistatic or corrosion-inhibiting component in textile, industrial-cleaning, metalworking and agrochemical formulations. Performance depends on pH, co-surfactants, electrolytes, temperature and nominal ethoxylation level.

Check compatibility with anionic ingredients at both concentrate and use dilution, especially under acidic conditions where the amine is protonated.
Compare amine values, nominal EO, water and physical form before testing wetting, emulsion or dispersion stability and substrate performance.
A CE-10 trade description does not establish cosmetic, biocidal, food-contact or other regulated-use suitability without the relevant grade documentation.

Storage and handling

Store tightly closed in a dry, ventilated area within the supplier’s stated temperature range and away from incompatible materials listed in the SDS. Follow the grade-specific instructions for warming, mixing and sampling if the physical form changes at lower temperature.

Safety, documentation and procurement

Ethoxylated amines may require corrosivity or irritation controls depending on composition and pH. Use the exact SDS for PPE, spill response, transport and disposal. For quotation, provide nominal EO or reference grade, amine-value limits, application pH, compatibility criteria, volume, package and destination.
