*resistant to hard water and acidic and alkaline environments,
*has anti-corrosion properties,
*very good detergent and dispersant properties,
*Properties that accelerate the drying of the car body after washing the car.

PROPERTIES OF PEG-2 COCAMINE:
Due to the presence of a double oxyethylene chain at the nitrogen atom, Peg-2 Cocamine exhibits a combination of action as a non-ionic and cationic surfactant in application, especially in acidic systems. 
Thanks to its cationic nature, the Peg-2 Cocamine molecule can form a single layer (film) on the metal surface. 
This makes Peg-2 Cocamine anti-corrosive, especially in relation to ferrous metals.

FUNCTIONS OF PEG-2 COCAMINE:
Emulsifying agent: 
Peg-2 Cocamine promotes the formation of intimate mixtures between immiscible liquids by modifying the interfacial tension (water and oil)

FUNCTION IN THE PEG-2 COCAMINE:
*W/O emulsifier, an ingredient that enables the creation of an emulsion. 
*An emulsion is a physicochemical form that is created by combining (mixing) a water phase with an oil phase. 
Examples of cosmetic emulsions are creams, milks, balms. 
They also act as a solvent for other cosmetic ingredients.

SCIENTIFIC FACTS OF PEG-2 COCAMINE:
Peg-2 Cocamine is produced from the fatty acids in coconut oil. 
Peg-2 Cocamine is manufactured by reacting coconut acid with a specific number of units of ethylene oxide, which corresponds to the average PEG chain length desired.

FUNCTIONS OF PEG-2 COCAMINE IN COSMETIC PRODUCTS:
*SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING
Peg-2 Cocamine allows the formation of finely dispersed mixtures of oil and water (emulsions)

OCCURRENCE IN COSMETICS:
Face toners, aftershaves and hair tonics, as solvent and solubiliser for active ingredients, perfume oils and colourants, humectants, basis for creams, as consistency enhancer, binding agent, softening agent and fixative

BACKGROUND INFORMSTION ON USE IN COSMETICS
Emulsifiers are often used in cosmetics as excipients. 
They allow actually unmixable components like oil and water to be brought in a permanently stable emulsion. 
In this way both aqueous and oily care and active ingredients can be used in one and the same product in cosmetics. 

Emulsifiers are able to do that since their molecules consist of a lipophilic and a hydrophilic part. 
In this way they can reduce the interfacial tension which actually exists between two incompatible substances like fat and water. 
Emulsifiers are, more particularly, used for creams, lotions and cleansing agents. 

At present emulsifiers are, however, more than only excipients which keep an emulsion stable. 
Fatty acid esters on the basis of sugar, lecithin or glycerin monodistearate contribute, for instance, to improving the moisture balance of the skin and are, therefore, also considered as cosmetic active ingredients.

Polyethylene glycols (INCI: PEG-...) are poly condensation products of ethylene glycol, or polymerisation products of ethylene oxide. 
The number added to the name refers to the mean number of ethylene oxide units in the substance. 
The consistency of the PEG derivatives is increasingly solid with a growing degree of polymerisation. 

PEGs with a mean molar mass of up to 600 g/mol are liquid, up to 1,000 g/mol wax-like and from 4,000 g/mol solid wax-like substances. 
By mixing solid and liquid components, products of a creamy consistency are obtained which are used as water-free and water rinse-off bases. 
With growing molar mass water solubility and hygroscopicity (ability to absorb moisture) of the polyethylene glycols decrease.

Polyethylene glycols and their derivates are preferentially used in cosmetic products since they have a broad spectrum of viscosity and solubility properties and have a very good skin tolerance. 

As water soluble, non-greasy substances polyethylene glycols are suitable for many cosmetic purposes.
The liquid PEGs serve, eg, as glycerol substitute in facial, shaving and hair lotions, as solubilisers and solvents.

SUBSTANCE INFORMATION:
"PEG" refers to a PEG-(polyethylene glycol-) derivative. 
The number behind "PEG-" (or the first number behind "PEG/...-") refers to the average number of molecular units -CH2-CH2-O-.

"Cocamine" refers to amines of coconut oil (Cocos nucifera oil).
Amines are generally organic compounds which are derived from ammonia and in which one, two or all three hydrogen atoms of the ammonia have been substituted by alkyl or aryl groups.
