COCAMINE OXIDE

CAS NUMBER:61788-90-7

EC NUMBER: 263-016-9

 

Cocamine Oxide is a tertiary amine oxide.
Cocamine Oxide often appears as a colorless or pale yellow viscous liquid.

Cocamine Oxide is a conditioner, surfactant, antistatic agent and foam booster.
Cocamine Oxide is often found in hand sanitizer.

Cocamine Oxide is a tertiary amine oxide; it is colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid. 
Cocamine Oxide is as foam booster and stabilizer used in cosmetic industry. 

Cocamine Oxides are used as nonionic surfactants impart excellent viscosity enhancing and foam stabilization in anionic based systems like hand washing liquids, shampoos, body washes and other personal care products. 
Cocamine Oxides act as lubricant agent, thickening agent and wetting agent.

Cocamine oxide is a surfactant made from coconut oil. 
Cocamine Oxide reduces static electricity and is therefore a part of hair products, especially conditioners. 

Cocamine Oxide also has cleansing properties, increases the foaming of the product, acts as an emulsifier. 
Cocamine oxide is not considered a hazardous substance.

 

USES:

Cocamine Oxide is used to aid in the coverage, feel, and evaporation of our foaming hand sanitizer. 
Whole Foods has deemed the ingredient acceptable in its body care and cleaning product quality standards.


-antistat in cosmetics;
 
-foam boosterstabilizer, detergent, and viscous modifier for shampoos, foam baths, cleaners; 

-conditioner in shampoos; 

-solubilizer for liquid bleach products; 

-surfactant for textile processing

 

APPLICATION:

Typically commercial coconut fatty acid has carbon chain composition of; C10 (5% max) + C12 (45 - 55%) + C14 (20 - 25%) + C16 (10 - 15 %) + C18 (10 - 15% max, including unsaturated fatty acids). 
Cocamine Oxide is an amide mixture of coconut fatty acids. Cocamides are manufactured by condensation of alkanolamines (mono-, di-, or triethanolamine) and coconut fatty acid. 

Cocamine Oxide and cocamide TEA (cocamide triethanolamine). 
Cocamine Oxides have the physical and chemical characteristics of alcohols, amines and long carbon chains in one molecule. 

Cocamine Oxides are nonionic surfactants impart excellent viscosity enhancing and foam stabilization in anionic based systems like hand washing liquids, shampoos, body cleansers and other personal care products. 
Cocamine Oxides act as lubricant agent, thickening agent and wetting agent. 
Their very good emulsifying property also provides applications in the field of pharmaceuticals, agricultural preparations, and textile processing; rust inhibiting, latex stabilizing, anti-static function in textiles, dye-leveling, waterproofing and  water-in-oil additives  as well as very good emulsifying.

Cocamine Oxides have dual functional groups (both acidic and basic groups) in the same molecule. 
Cocamine Oxides are polar solvents that have a high solubility in water but a poor solubility in most organic solvents. 

Cocamine Oxides are electrically neutral but carries positive and negative charges on different atoms in an aqueous solution. 
Depending on the composition and conditions of pH value, the substances can have anionic or cationic properties. 
In the presence of acids, they will accept the hydrogen ions but they will donate hydrogen ions to the solution in the presence of bases, which balances the pH. 

Such actions make buffer solutions which resist change to the pH. 
In the detergency ability amphoteric surfactants which change their charge according to the pH of the solution affects properties of foaming, wetting and detergentcy through a surface action that exerts both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. 
In biochemistry amphoteric surfactant is used as a detergent for purifying, cleansing and antimicrobial effects. 

Cocamine Oxides are amphoteric surfactants.
Cocamine Oxides are surfactants commonly used in consumer products such as shampoos, conditioners, detergents, and hard surface cleaners. 

Cocamine Oxides (chain lengths C10–C16) is the most commercially used amine oxide. 
Cocamine Oxides are considered a high production volume class of compounds in more than one member country of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD); with annual production over 26,000, 16,000 and 6,800 tonnes (28,700, 17,600 and 7,500 short tons) in the US, Europe, and Japan, respectively. 

In North America, more than 95% of amine oxides are used in home cleaning products.
Cocamine Oxides serve as stabilizers, thickeners, emollients, emulsifiers, and conditioners with active concentrations in the range of 0.1–10%. 
The remainder (< 5%) is used in personal care, institutional, commercial products and for unique patented uses such as photography.

FUNCTION:

Are nonionic surfactants impart excellent viscosity enhancing and foam stabilization in anionic based systems like hand washing liquids, shampoos, body washes and other personal care products. 
Cocamine Oxides act as lubricant agent, thickening agent and wetting agent.


-Antistatic: Reduces static electricity by neutralizing the electrical charge on a surface

-Cleaning Agent: Helps maintain a clean surface

-Foam Synergiste: Improves the quality of foam produced by increasing one or more of the following properties: volume, texture and/or stability

-Conditioner: Leaves hair manageable, supple, soft and shiny and/or adds volume, lightness and shine

-Hydrotrope: Increases the solubility of a poorly soluble substance in water.

-Surfactant: Cocamine Oxide reduces the surface tension of cosmetics and contributes to the homogeneous distribution of the product during use.
