Cocamide Methyl Mea

Product Description

As a leading industrial manufacturer, we supply high-purity Cocamide Methyl MEA, a premium non-ionic surfactant that represents the next generation of alkanolamides. This specialized ingredient functions as a superior viscosity builder and foam stabilizer by optimizing the micellar structure of surfactant systems without the typical solidification issues of traditional DEA or MEA derivatives. Given the global regulatory shift away from secondary amines, our Cocamide Methyl MEA serves as a high-performance commercial benchmark for creating stable, clear, and high-viscosity cleansing formulations.

Key Benefits & Applications

Cocamide Methyl MEA is highly regarded in B2B formulations for its exceptional thickening response and ability to produce a dense, elastic foam even in sulfate-free systems. Its primary technical advantage lies in its low temperature stability; unlike traditional Cocamide MEA, it remains a flowable liquid at 0°C, significantly simplifying the manufacturing process. Beyond viscosity control, it exhibits excellent fragrance solubilization and provides a luxurious skin feel in premium shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers. It is particularly effective in high-electrolyte formulations where it maintains superior clarity and long-term rheological stability.

Formulation Guidelines

• Recommended Usage: 0.5% - 3.0% for viscosity adjustment and foam stabilization.
• Processing: Liquid form allows for cold-processing; can be added directly to the surfactant blend at any stage.
• Stability: Outstanding stability across a wide pH range; highly resistant to crystallization at low temperatures.
• Synergy: Combine with Cocamidopropyl Betaine for synergistic viscosity building and enhanced lather creaminess in professional-grade cleansing benchmarks.
