Coco Diethanolamide CDE Coconut Derivative
Structure: R-CO-N(CH₂CH₂OH)₂

Coco Diethanolamide

CDE / CDEA (85% Amide Content)

Coco Diethanolamide (CDE) is a non-ionic surfactant derived from coconut oil. It is a viscous, yellowish-amber liquid. It acts as the perfect partner to SLES in formulations. While SLES creates the foam, CDE stabilizes it, makes it creamy, and significantly boosts the viscosity (thickness) of the final product upon addition of salt.

CAS Number 68603-42-9
Amide Content 85% Min
Appearance Viscous Liquid

Product Overview

Ruvon's CDE is manufactured using the 1:1 molar ratio (1 mole Fatty Acid : 1 mole Diethanolamine) method, ensuring high purity and low free amine content. This makes it milder on the skin compared to the 1:1.5 grades often found in the market.

  • Foam Stabilizer: Prevents foam from collapsing in the presence of oil and dirt.
  • Salt Response: Acts synergistically with salt (NaCl) to build high viscosity in anionic surfactant systems.
  • Super-Fatting Agent: Leaves a smooth, conditioned feel on hair and skin, countering the harshness of SLES.

Mechanism: The "Foam Architect"

How does it hold the bubbles?

Foam bubbles usually pop because gravity pulls the water down from the bubble wall.

  • The Scaffold: CDE molecules insert themselves between the SLES molecules at the bubble surface. They act like "scaffolding" or "mortar" between bricks.
  • Result: This tightly packed structure increases the surface viscosity of the bubble film. Water drains out much slower, making the foam thick, creamy, and long-lasting.

Pro-Tip: Viscosity Synergist

How to save money on Salt?

If you use only SLES and Salt, you need a lot of Salt to thicken the product (which can dry out skin).
The Trick: Adding just 2% to 3% of CDE drastically shifts the "Salt Curve." You will achieve the same high thickness with much less Salt, resulting in a milder, more premium product.

Industrial Applications

Shampoo & Conditioners

Improves foam creaminess and deposits conditioning agents on hair.

Dishwashing Liquid

Keeps the foam active even in the presence of grease and oil.

Liquid Hand Wash

Provides the "thick" feel consumers associate with quality.

Car Wash Shampoo

Generates high, stable foam that clings to vertical surfaces of the car.

Liquid Detergents

Acts as a soil suspending agent, preventing dirt from redepositing on clothes.

Textile Auxiliaries

Used as a scouring and wetting agent in textile processing.
