Cocamide DEA CDEA-85 for Cleaning Formulations Global Supply from Malaysia Worldwide

Cocamide DEA, also known as Cocodiethanolamide, is a mixture of fatty-acid diethanolamides. It is normally supplied as a clear to light-yellow viscous liquid. CDEA-85 generally identifies a commercial grade with at least 85% total amide content. Mars Oleochemicals lists Cocamide DEA as a non-ionic surfactant derived from palm-kernel or coconut-oil feedstocks.

Cocamide DEA is primarily used as a foam booster and viscosity-enhancing ingredient. Within a compatible surfactant formulation, it can support foam richness and persistence while helping the finished product achieve a thicker, more uniform consistency. Its performance depends on surfactant composition, concentration, pH, electrolyte content, production temperature and cooling conditions.

Cocamide DEA CDEA-85 for Cleaning Formulations Foam Boosting, Thickening and Global Supply from Malaysia Worldwide.

Cocamide DEA may be used in shampoos, bubble baths, body washes, liquid hand soaps, dishwashing liquids, household detergents and industrial-cleaning products. It can also support emulsification and formulation stability. However, cosmetic and consumer-product manufacturers must confirm the ingredient’s purity, DEA content, nitrosamine controls and regulatory status for each destination market.

Mars Oleochemicals Sdn. Bhd. supplies Cocamide DEA CDEA-85 to personal-care manufacturers, cleaning-product formulators, importers and distributors worldwide. Buyers can request the current specification, SDS, TDS, certificate of analysis, packing information and export quotation. The published packing options include drums, IBCs, flexibags and bulk ISO-tank shipments.

1. What is Cocamide DEA CDEA-85? Cocamide DEA CDEA-85, also called Cocodiethanolamide, is a fatty-acid diethanolamide commonly supplied as a viscous, light-yellow liquid. It is used mainly as a foam booster, foam stabilizer, viscosity enhancer and emulsifying ingredient.

2. What is Cocamide DEA used for? Cocamide DEA is used in shampoos, body washes, liquid hand soaps, bubble baths, dishwashing liquids, liquid detergents, household cleaners and selected industrial-cleaning formulations.

3. How does Cocamide DEA improve foam? Cocamide DEA works with the primary surfactant system to support foam volume, richness and stability. Its performance depends on the other surfactants, concentration, pH, electrolytes and complete formulation.

4. How does Cocamide DEA increase viscosity? Cocamide DEA can modify surfactant structures within a liquid formulation, helping increase thickness and consistency. The final viscosity depends on the surfactant blend, salt level, temperature and processing method.

5. Is Cocamide DEA the primary cleansing surfactant? Cocamide DEA is generally used as a supporting non-ionic surfactant rather than the principal cleansing ingredient. It commonly complements primary surfactants by improving foam, viscosity, emulsification and formulation stability.

6. How is Cocamide DEA manufactured? Cocamide DEA is manufactured by reacting coconut-oil or palm-kernel-derived fatty materials with diethanolamine. It is therefore vegetable-feedstock-derived but chemically processed.

7. Is Cocamide DEA permitted in cosmetic products? Regulatory requirements differ by market. CIR concluded that Cocamide DEA can be used under specified formulation conditions, while European rules restrict fatty-acid dialkanolamides and California Proposition 65 lists coconut-oil diethanolamine condensate as causing cancer.

8. What quality parameters should buyers review? Buyers should review total amide content, free diethanolamine, nitrosamine control, free fatty acid, water, glycerol, colour, pH, physical appearance, regulatory status and compatibility with the intended formulation. Mars Oleochemicals publishes a minimum total-amide content of 85% and a maximum free-DEA level of 5% for its CDEA-85 grade.

9. Where can buyers source Cocamide DEA CDEA-85 from Malaysia? International buyers can contact Mars Oleochemicals Sdn. Bhd. for Cocamide DEA CDEA-85 specifications, packing options, quality documentation, product availability and export quotations from Malaysia.
