Product Name | Cocoamide MIPA |
CAS | 68333-82-4 |
Description | Cocoamide MIPA is a surfactant and emulsifying agent commonly used in personal care products such as shampoos, conditioners, and body washes. It is derived from coconut fatty acids and is often used as a substitute for coconut diethanolamide (CDEA) in order to avoid a potential risk of nitrosamine formation. Cocoamide MIPA works by reducing the surface tension of liquids, allowing for easier mixing of different components, as well as foam formation. Additionally, it can act as a thickening agent to help maintain the desired consistency of the product. |
Appearance | yellowish to amber-colored liquid with a waxy or oily texture |
Application | 1. Cocoamide MIPA is commonly used as a thickening agent and emulsifier in shampoos, conditioners, body washes, and other personal care products. 2. It helps to improve the texture of these products by creating a smooth and creamy consistency, while also enhancing their cleansing and moisturizing properties. 3. Cocoamide MIPA is also used in household and industrial cleaning products to improve their foaming and cleaning ability, as well as to stabilize and thicken the formulations. 4. In agriculture, Cocoamide MIPA is used as a surfactant and emulsifier in crop protection products, to facilitate the even distribution and adherence of the active ingredients on plant surfaces. 5. Finally, Cocoamide MIPA is used as a raw material in the production of other surfactants such as non-ionic, anionic, and cationic surfactants, which find applications in various industries including food, textiles, and paper. |
