How should a Polyoxyethylene Coco Amine CE-10 grade be specified?

Use the reference grade or nominal EO level together with total and tertiary amine values, water, color, appearance and physical form. The CE-10 name and CAS number alone do not define interchangeable commercial grades.

Can CE-10 be blended with anionic surfactants?

Compatibility depends strongly on pH and concentration because the amine becomes more cationic in acidic media. Screen the actual concentrate and dilution for haze, precipitation, viscosity drift, foam and loss of performance before scale-up.

How do I qualify a replacement CE-10 supplier?

Match amine values, nominal EO, water and physical form, then compare wetting, emulsification or corrosion-inhibition performance in the actual formulation. Include concentrate stability, dilution behavior and storage at the intended pH and temperature.

What should I send with a CE-10 purchase inquiry?

Provide the reference TDS or sample, amine-value limits, application pH, co-surfactants, required performance, package, trial quantity, annual volume and destination. Request written confirmation of the matching grade, sample and COA, TDS and SDS package.

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

Polyoxyethylene Coco Amine CE-10 , also called PEG-10 Cocamine or cocoamine ethoxylate 10EO , is an ethoxylated coco alkyl amine identified by CAS No. 61791-14-8 and EC No. 500-152-2 . It is an amine ethoxylate distribution, not a coconut-oil ester. Its protonation and compatibility change with pH, so buyers should match nominal EO, amine values, water, physical form and application performance using the current COA, TDS and SDS.

CAS: 61791-14-8
Synonyms: Polyoxyethylene Coco Amine, CE-10, PEG-10 Cocamine, Cocoamine Ethoxylate 10EO, Amines, Coco Alkyl, Ethoxylated
Einecs: 500-152-2
Molecular Formula: R-N[(CH₂CH₂O)ₓH][(CH₂CH₂O)ᵧH] (nominal x+y ≈ 10)
Grade: Confirm the nominal EO or PO level, feedstock range, active matter, water, physical form and relevant analytical values against the current TDS and COA.
Package: State required quantity, physical form and destination; confirm the current bag or container, liner, net weight, temperature handling and transport requirements before quotation.

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. The required performance depends strongly 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.

For other ethoxylated fatty amine pages, review Tallow Amine Ethoxylate TA-15, Ethoxylated Lauryl Amine, and Ethoxylated Oleyl Amine.
