Overview of Dimethyl Cocamine
Dimethyl Cocamine is a coconut-derived tertiary fatty amine mainly used as a chemical intermediate in the production of surfactants and conditioning agents. It plays an important role in personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning formulations by helping create effective cleansing and foam-boosting systems.
Its CAS number is 61788-93-0, and it is typically supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a mild amine odour. Dimethyl Cocamine itself is not usually added directly to finished products; instead, it is converted into ingredients like amine oxides, quaternary ammonium compounds, and betaines, which are widely used in shampoos, body washes, and liquid detergents.
It is commonly used alongside Lauramine Oxide, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate, and Coco Glucoside to improve foam quality, cleaning efficiency, and formulation stability.
Application of Dimethyl Cocamine
Personal Care & Cosmetic Formulations
Dimethyl Cocamine is used as a raw material to manufacture mild surfactants and conditioning agents for shampoos, face washes, body cleansers, and hair conditioners. These derivatives help improve foaming, cleansing, and skin feel.
Home Care & Cleaning Products
In household and institutional cleaners, Dimethyl Cocamine-based derivatives are used in dishwashing liquids, surface cleaners, and degreasers to enhance oil removal and emulsification.
Industrial & Speciality Applications
It is used in textile processing, antistatic agents, and speciality emulsions where surface activity and compatibility are required.
