Spak Orgochem IZH-62: Cocomonoethanolamide (CMEA)

Cocomonoethanolamide is a well-known agent for foam boosting and stabilization and viscosity control used is shampoos, liquid soaps and similar cosmetic/ toiletry products and industrial cleaners. It stabilizes the foam in the presence of hard water and sebum. Due to its low amine value the formulated products rarely require subsequent pH adjustment after its addition. In acid shampoos cocomonethanolamide should be preferred over cocodiethanolamide as, being a secondary amide it is more resistant to hydrolysis.
