Core Advantages
Key Application Fields
1. Personal Care Products (Core Application)
Cocamide DEA acts as a key auxiliary non‑ionic surfactant for liquid detergents and personal care formulations.
Shampoos: Delivers stable and rich foam, serves as a thickener to adjust viscosity and improve application feel. Recommended dosage: 1.0%‑5.0%.
Body Washes: Enhances foam fineness and persistence for better skin‑feel experience.
Hand Soaps: Boosts cleaning performance and stabilizes foam structure.
Liquid Soaps: Functions as foam stabilizer and foam booster to optimize detergency.
Hair Dyes & Hair Care Products: Imparts softness and reduces static electricity on hair strands.
2. Household Cleaning Products
Dishwashing Liquids: Greatly improves foam stability and cleaning power, ideal for 1:1.5‑type formulations.
Liquid Laundry Detergents: Works as thickener and foam stabilizer to enhance washing performance.
Floor Cleaners: Improves wetting capacity and soil‑removing ability.
3. Industrial Applications
Textile Printing & Dyeing Auxiliaries: Used for fiber modification, wool washing and metal cleaning.
Electroplating, Shoe Polish & Inks: Serves as wetting agent, emulsifier and rust inhibitor.
Pesticide Intermediates: Applied as emulsifier in pesticide formulation preparation.

FAQ
Q1: What is Cocamide DEA?
A: Cocamide DEA (INCI Name: Cocamide DEA, Common Abbreviation: CDEA, Trade Names: 6501 / NINOL, CAS 68603-42-9) is a non-ionic surfactant produced by the condensation of coconut oil fatty acids and diethanolamine. It appears as a pale yellow to amber transparent viscous liquid, with no cloud point and excellent water solubility. It is one of the most widely used thickening and foam-stabilizing agents in the daily chemical industry.
Q2: What are the core functions of Cocamide DEA?
A: As a multifunctional non-ionic surfactant, Cocamide DEA provides:
Superior thickening effect: Especially remarkable synergistic thickening performance when combined with anionic surfactants (e.g., SLES, AES)
Excellent foam stabilization: Enhances foam fineness and persistence, preventing rapid foam collapse
Good emulsification & detergency: Helps remove oil-based stains and stabilize emulsion systems
Anti-hard water property: Maintains stable performance even in high-hardness water
Skin-feel improvement: Reduces the harshness of anionic surfactants and enhances product application experience
Q3: What is the recommended dosage of Cocamide DEA?
A: Dosage varies by product type (calculated based on 80%-85% active matter content):
Shampoos & body washes: 1.0% – 5.0%
Hand soaps & liquid soaps: 2.0% – 4.0%
Dishwashing liquids: 1.5% – 3.0% (ideal for 1:1.5-type formulations)
Laundry detergents: 0.5% – 2.0%
Industrial cleaners: 1.0% – 6.0%
Q4: Is Cocamide DEA compatible with other formulation ingredients?
A: Yes, Cocamide DEA has excellent formulation compatibility:
Fully compatible with anionic, non-ionic and amphoteric surfactants
Can be used with most thickeners, preservatives and fragrances
Note: It shows the best synergistic thickening effect when used with anionic surfactants at a ratio of approximately 1:4
Q5: What are the main applications of Cocamide DEA?
A: It is widely used across three major industries:
Personal care: Shampoos, body washes, hand soaps, hair dyes, facial cleansers
Household cleaning: Dishwashing liquids, liquid laundry detergents, floor cleaners, all-purpose cleaners
Industrial applications: Textile printing and dyeing auxiliaries, metal cleaners, electroplating additives, pesticide emulsifiers, shoe polish and ink formulations
