DESCRIPTION

Cocoyl Sarcosine is the N-cocoyl derivative of Sarcosine and conforms generally to the structure RCON(CH₃)CH₂COOH.
Cocoyl Sarcosine contains coconut-derived fatty acyl groups attached through an amide bond to the nitrogen atom of Sarcosine.

Cocoyl Sarcosine is identified by CAS Number 68411-97-2 and EC Number 270-156-4.
Cocoyl Sarcosine is distinct from Sodium Cocoyl Sarcosinate, which is identified by a different CAS number and contains a sodium counterion.

Cocoyl Sarcosine is a UVCB-type fatty acid derivative rather than one chemically uniform molecular species.
Cocoyl Sarcosine therefore has no single exact molecular formula or one fixed molecular weight.

Cocoyl Sarcosine contains a distribution of carbon chains reflecting the fatty acid profile used during manufacture.
Cocoyl Sarcosine is typically rich in lauroyl and myristoyl groups while also containing caproyl, capryloyl, palmitoyl, stearoyl, and unsaturated components.

Cocoyl Sarcosine has a reported fatty acid distribution of approximately 2–4% C10, 55% C12, 19–22% C14, 0–7% C16, and 4–21% C18.
Cocoyl Sarcosine may additionally contain approximately 0–8% oleic and 0–3% other unsaturated fatty acid components.

Cocoyl Sarcosine is commonly manufactured by reacting a sarcosine-derived intermediate with coconut fatty acid chlorides.
Cocoyl Sarcosine production is followed by purification and adjustment of residual fatty acid, salt, moisture, color, and active content.

Cocoyl Sarcosine normally appears as a yellow viscous oily liquid.
Cocoyl Sarcosine appearance can vary with temperature, fatty acid composition, oxidation level, moisture, and processing history.

Cocoyl Sarcosine has an average molecular-weight range of approximately 280–290 g/mol.
Cocoyl Sarcosine molecular weight remains an average because individual fatty acyl components possess different chain lengths.

Cocoyl Sarcosine has a reported melting or solidification range of approximately 22–28°C.
Cocoyl Sarcosine may therefore become more viscous, cloudy, semi-solid, or partially crystallized during cool storage.

Cocoyl Sarcosine has a reported specific gravity of approximately 0.965–0.975 at 25°C.
Cocoyl Sarcosine specific gravity can vary slightly according to composition, temperature, and batch specification.

Cocoyl Sarcosine is insoluble or only very slightly dispersible in water in the free-acid form.
Cocoyl Sarcosine becomes substantially more water compatible after partial or complete neutralization.

Cocoyl Sarcosine is soluble in many organic formulation media, including glycols, glycerin, silicones, phosphate esters, and aliphatic hydrocarbons.
Cocoyl Sarcosine solubility should still be confirmed in the complete formulation because solvent polarity and temperature influence compatibility.

Cocoyl Sarcosine contains a carboxylic acid group that can be neutralized with inorganic or organic bases.
Cocoyl Sarcosine neutralization produces sarcosinate salts with greater aqueous surfactant activity.

Cocoyl Sarcosine is a somewhat stronger acid than the corresponding unmodified coconut fatty acids.
Cocoyl Sarcosine can form stable salts in neutral and mildly acidic formulation ranges.

Cocoyl Sarcosine acts as an anionic surfactant when the carboxylic acid group becomes ionized or neutralized.
Cocoyl Sarcosine retains a hydrophobic fatty acyl chain that associates with oils, sebum, and nonpolar soil.

Cocoyl Sarcosine lowers interfacial tension between water and hydrophobic materials after suitable neutralization.
Cocoyl Sarcosine supports emulsification and removal of oily contamination during rinsing.

Cocoyl Sarcosine provides cleansing by forming aggregates that incorporate hydrophobic soil within their nonpolar regions.
Cocoyl Sarcosine cleaning efficiency depends on neutralization, concentration, temperature, pH, water hardness, and co-surfactants.

Cocoyl Sarcosine contributes to hair conditioning through surface interaction and controlled deposition.
Cocoyl Sarcosine can reduce the rough sensory character associated with highly aggressive cleansing systems.

Cocoyl Sarcosine salts are generally more soluble and less sensitive to water hardness than conventional fatty acid soaps.
Cocoyl Sarcosine can therefore support cleansing performance in water containing calcium and magnesium ions.

Cocoyl Sarcosine behavior is strongly influenced by formulation pH.
Cocoyl Sarcosine can become less soluble and precipitate when the pH shifts toward the predominantly unneutralized free-acid form.

Cocoyl Sarcosine can interact with cationic polymers, cationic surfactants, and multivalent metal ions.
Cocoyl Sarcosine compatibility testing is required because ionic complex formation can alter clarity, viscosity, deposition, and activity.

Cocoyl Sarcosine is generally compatible with many nonionic and amphoteric surfactants.
Cocoyl Sarcosine can also be blended with compatible anionic surfactants to modify foam, detergency, and sensory performance.

Cocoyl Sarcosine contains amide and carboxylic acid functionalities that may be affected by prolonged severe processing conditions.
Cocoyl Sarcosine should be protected from excessive heat, strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong alkalis.

Cocoyl Sarcosine contains unsaturated fatty components that can undergo gradual oxidation.
Cocoyl Sarcosine oxidation can increase color, odor, acidity, and secondary degradation products during unsuitable storage.

Cocoyl Sarcosine is associated with a potential nitrosation concern when nitrosating substances are present under suitable conditions.
Cocoyl Sarcosine should not be used in formulations in which N-nitroso compounds may be formed.

Cocoyl Sarcosine quality should include control of active content, acid value, free fatty acids, color, moisture, and fatty acid distribution.
Cocoyl Sarcosine quality assessment may also include residual sarcosine, inorganic salts, chloride, nitrite, and nitrosamine testing.

Cocoyl Sarcosine cosmetic safety has been assessed together with related fatty acyl sarcosines and sarcosinate salts.
Cocoyl Sarcosine was considered safe as used when formulated to be non-irritating and when nitrosamine-forming conditions are avoided.

Cocoyl Sarcosine is authorized under specified United States indirect food-contact conditions as an antistatic or antifogging component in qualifying polymer films.
Cocoyl Sarcosine food-contact use is subject to concentration, film-type, thickness, purity, and good-manufacturing-practice requirements.

Cocoyl Sarcosine grades intended for cosmetic, analytical, polymer, cleaning, or industrial applications are not automatically interchangeable.
Cocoyl Sarcosine grade selection should reflect purity, documentation, fatty acid profile, residual impurities, regulatory status, and intended use.

Cocoyl Sarcosine remains most stable when stored in tightly closed containers protected from excessive heat, moisture, air, and contamination.
Cocoyl Sarcosine that becomes partially solid during cool storage can generally be homogenized through controlled warming when permitted by the grade-specific documentation.
