Cocamide DEA (Cocamide Diethanolamide), also known as CDEA, is a high-performance, versatile surfactant derived from natural coconut oil. Engineered for excellence in foaming, emulsifying, and thickening, CDEA is an essential component in the formulation of premium personal care, household detergents, and industrial cleaning agents, providing a luxurious texture and superior cleaning efficiency.
Recognized for its mild, non-irritating properties, CDEA enhances the viscosity and stability of various surfactant systems, ensuring consistent performance even in hard water conditions. As a biodegradable and eco-friendly solution, it meets the growing global demand for sustainable chemical ingredients without compromising on efficacy or consumer safety.

CDEA is widely used in personal care (shampoos, body washes), detergents, industrial lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, agricultural pesticides, and textile processing for its emulsifying and wetting properties.
It acts as a viscosity modifier and foam booster, giving products a more luxurious, thick texture while remaining gentle on the skin and hair.
Yes, CDEA is biodegradable and derived from coconut oil, making it a suitable choice for manufacturers aiming for eco-friendly and sustainable product lines.
Liquid CDEA is preferred for easy mixing in liquid formulations like shampoos. Solid CDEA is rarer and typically used in powdered detergents where precise concentration control is required.
Our factory is ISO9001:2008, REACH, and FAMIQS certified, ensuring that all chemical products meet strict international quality and safety standards.
Yes, samples are available. While customers initially cover the shipping costs, these are fully reimbursed upon the first official cooperation order.
