Coco Amine Ethoxylate (CAS 61791-14-8), also called Ethoxylated Cocoamine or Cocoamine Polyoxyethylene Ether, is a fatty amine ethoxylate used in industrial surfactant formulations. Unilong provides sourcing and export support for customers purchasing this material for textile auxiliaries, industrial cleaning, metalworking, agrochemical additives and other manufacturing applications. Commercial products differ in average ethylene oxide (EO) content, amine value and behavior in water-based systems. We focus on the specified EO grade, intended application, packaging and purchase volume so industrial buyers can request a commercially relevant quotation.

Commercial products vary in alkyl-chain composition and average EO addition. A target EO level, existing product equivalent and amine-value limits help identify the right grade for an industrial order.
EO level affects oil affinity, water compatibility and surface activity. Higher EO generally increases hydrophilic character and lowers total amine value, which helps distinguish commercial grades.
| Nominal EO grade | Indicative total amine value (mg KOH/g) | Formulation focus |
|---|---|---|
| 2 EO | 190–200 | Oil-oriented wetting and surface-treatment formulations |
| 5 EO | 128–138 | Intermediate-EO emulsification, detergency and processing auxiliaries |
| 10 EO | 84–90 | Emulsifier and dispersant blends requiring a more hydrophilic balance |
| 15 EO | 62–68 | Textile and aqueous emulsifier systems |
| 20 EO | 48–54 | Water-compatible wetting, dispersing and emulsion systems |
Amine values are indicative and vary by commercial grade. The specification for an order is based on the exact grade quoted. When replacing an existing product, please include the current grade name or EO target, preferred amine-value limits and operating pH. These details help distinguish materials with the same CAS number but different processing behavior.
Commercial product codes are not a universal indication of average EO content. For cross-supplier sourcing, match the nominal EO level and total amine value rather than assuming products with similar model numbers are equivalent. Water dispersibility, appearance and moisture can also matter when the existing formulation has narrow processing tolerances. A quotation based on a defined grade makes price and performance comparisons more meaningful for repeat industrial purchases.
Coco amine ethoxylates behave mainly as nonionic surfactants in neutral or alkaline formulations and become more cationic under acidic conditions. This affects compatibility with anionic ingredients. Water dispersibility also changes with EO level, so grade selection should reflect the concentrate type, dilution conditions and process temperature.
In industrial cleaning concentrates, compatibility in the supplied concentrate and after working dilution can differ. For metalworking and oilfield additives, hardness, dissolved salts and temperature influence performance in water-based systems. Textile processing introduces its own demands through bath pH and the other surfactants in the auxiliary package. These operating details are useful when matching a new commercial grade to a formulation already running at production scale.
Coco Amine Ethoxylate is incorporated into textile wetting agents and dyeing auxiliaries to improve liquid contact with fibers. It is also used in antistatic treatments for selected synthetic textiles and chemical fibers. Commercial dyeing and finishing baths vary in fiber type, pH and auxiliary ingredients. The selected grade should support uniform fiber treatment while remaining compatible with the processing bath.
Coco amine ethoxylates serve as surfactant components in selected metalworking emulsifier packages and corrosion-inhibitor blends. Their interfacial activity supports wetting and distribution of oily ingredients in compatible systems. They are used in machining-fluid concentrates and metal-treatment additives. Relevant grade characteristics include amine value, emulsion compatibility and stability in process water.
Coco Amine Ethoxylate is used in industrial detergent concentrates where wetting, soil removal and oil dispersion are required. Certain intermediate-EO grades are suitable ingredients for textile cleaners and hard-surface cleaning systems. They can be combined with other surfactants to adjust emulsification and concentrate behavior. For diluted industrial cleaners, water dispersibility and concentrate stability are particularly useful selection criteria.
Ethoxylated cocoamines are used as surfactant components in selected crop-protection formulations and adjuvant blends. They contribute wetting, ingredient distribution and emulsification functions in compatible products. The surfactant balance is particularly important when a concentrate is diluted into spray water. The formulation type, carrier system and applicable regulations determine which grades are suitable.
Higher-EO coco amine ethoxylates can be used as auxiliaries in selected emulsion-polymerization and coating-surfactant packages. Their emulsification and wetting properties support the distribution of ingredients in compatible aqueous systems. They are relevant to compatible polymer latex and water-based coating formulations. Resin chemistry, electrolyte content and emulsion stability requirements determine whether a grade is suitable for production.
Selected coco amine ethoxylates are used in oilfield surfactant systems for cleaning, wetting and corrosion-inhibitor formulations. They help formulate interfacial behavior in packages containing solvents and other functional additives. They are used in oil-production and processing packages designed for specific conditions. Grade selection reflects brine composition, temperature and carrier compatibility.
Coco amine ethoxylates are used in antistatic and surface-treatment formulations for certain polymers, synthetic materials and industrial coatings. Their surface-active character can contribute to wetting and static-control performance in compatible processing systems. Grade requirements differ between internal polymer additives and externally applied surface treatments. Polymer compatibility, concentration and processing conditions are key selection factors.
For ongoing industrial purchasing, the main quality parameters are the declared EO grade and its corresponding chemical and physical characteristics. Unilong's sourcing and quality coordination focuses on clear product identification and commercial requirements, including the following parameters:
| Parameter | Purchasing relevance |
|---|---|
| Nominal EO level | Identifies the intended commercial grade |
| Total amine value | Supports grade matching and formulation consistency |
| Appearance and color | Useful for incoming material identification and processing requirements |
| Moisture content | Relevant to storage and water-sensitive formulations |
| Active matter | Used where the formulation requires a defined material concentration |
| pH and water compatibility | Relevant to the chosen formulation and dilution conditions |
| Lot identification | Supports receipt, handling and repeat-order consistency |
Share required limits for amine value, moisture and color when requesting a quotation. Where a process depends on neutralization behavior or dilution stability, include the relevant test conditions. This creates a clear specification for subsequent production orders without treating all materials under the same CAS number as identical. Unilong coordinates grade-specific quality requirements and the availability of COA, TDS and SDS documentation as part of the commercial offer.

No. They differ in amine value, water compatibility and formulation behavior. Include the existing grade and its specifications when sourcing an alternative.
Water compatibility varies with EO level, temperature and formulation composition. Lower-EO grades may be dispersible rather than fully soluble, while higher-EO grades are generally more hydrophilic. If a clear aqueous concentrate is required, include that requirement in your enquiry.
Compatibility depends on formulation pH and the other ingredients. Under acidic conditions, the amine group can become protonated and may interact differently with anionic materials. The target pH and blend composition are relevant when selecting an EO grade.
Common industrial drum sizes are 180 kg and 200 kg net. State your preferred packing, purchase quantity, delivery country and required shipping terms. MOQ, dispatch timing and the final packaging configuration depend on the commercial grade and confirmed order.
