Cocamide DEA: The Reason Your Shampoo Feels Rich
Squeeze any well-made shampoo and notice two things: it pours thick, and it lathers into dense, lasting foam. Neither happens by accident, and for half a century the workhorse behind both has been Cocamide DEA — coconut fatty acids condensed with diethanolamine into the personal-care industry’s classic foam booster and thickener.
What one ingredient fixes
Primary surfactants clean well but often foam thin and pour watery. CDEA repairs both faults at low dosage: it stabilises the foam structure into the creamy lather consumers equate with quality, and it builds viscosity so the product feels concentrated, not diluted. Shampoos, body washes, dishwash liquids, hand cleansers and industrial degreasers all lean on this double duty — which is why CDEA remains one of the highest-volume secondary surfactants across Asia’s booming home- and personal-care manufacturing.
Ratio is the specification
SIPL supplies both amide ratios: Standard 1:1, the classic economical grade mainstream formulas were built on, and Super 1:1.5, the high-active grade for concentrated products and hard-water markets chasing maximum lather per percent. Both come with amide value, colour and free-amine documentation — the numbers that predict in-formula behaviour.
