What is Coconut Diethanolamide (CDEA)?
CDEA is a nonionic surfactant and foam booster produced by reacting coconut fatty acids with diethanolamine. It is commonly used as a secondary surfactant in cleaning systems.
Core Performance Advantages
- Strong Foam Boosting: Enhances foam volume and stability, especially in dishwashing liquids and laundry detergents.
- Cost-Effective Thickening: Improves viscosity without expensive additives, reducing overall formulation costs.
- Excellent Compatibility: Works well with anionic surfactants such as SLES, LABSA, and AOS.
- Emulsification Performance: Helps blend oil and water phases, improving formulation stability.
- Widely Applicable: Suitable for both household and industrial cleaning systems.
What is CDEA (Coconut Diethanol Amide) Used for
- Daily Chemicals & Personal Care: CDEA serves as a thickener, foam stabilizer, emulsifier, and wetting agent in cosmetic products.
- Metal Cleaning Agents: Due to its excellent dispersing, solubilizing, and hard-water resistance properties, CDEA is commonly used as a metal rust inhibitor and surface cleaner.
- Printing & Dyeing Auxiliaries: In the textile printing and dyeing industry, it functions as a fabric detergent and thickener.
- Textile Spinning Oils: Used as an antistatic agent and a lubricating component.
- Paints & Inks: Applied in paint strippers, inks, and shoe polishes.
