PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Product Description

CMEA 85% Coconut Mono Ethanol Amide is a coconut fatty-acid monoethanolamide mixture supplied as milky white to light-yellow solid flakes. It is commonly used as a non-ionic co-surfactant in detergent, cleansing, personal-care, and selected industrial formulation systems. The material provides effective foam boosting and foam stabilization while also supporting viscosity development, wetting, dispersion, and formulation consistency. It shows good compatibility with a range of commonly used surfactants and can help maintain useful performance under hard-water conditions. Cocamide MEA is particularly associated with liquid detergent, dishwashing, shampoo, body-cleansing, and related surfactant systems where controlled foam structure and viscosity are required. The current referenced RawChem technical specification controls amide content, glycerol, free amine, pH, melting point, and physical appearance. Final suitability should be evaluated according to the intended application, supplier-specific technical documentation, applicable Safety Data Sheet, and relevant regulatory requirements.

STORAGE & HANDLING

Handling Guidance

Store in securely closed and appropriately labeled packaging in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location. Protect the material from moisture, excessive heat, prolonged direct sunlight, and contamination. Keep packaging properly closed when the product is not in use. Minimize unnecessary dust or flake dispersion during handling and follow the supplier-specific Safety Data Sheet and appropriate workplace chemical-safety procedures. Cocamide MEA products may present skin- and eye-irritation hazards depending on composition and concentration, so handling requirements should follow the actual supplier's safety documentation. Storage, transportation, spill management, and disposal should comply with applicable regulations and the technical documentation supplied by the PBL supplier.
