Cocamine ethoxylated

Cocamine ethoxylated (CAS 61791-14-8), also supplied under trade names such as Witcamine 305, Witcamine 302, and Varonic K 215LC, is a nonionic surfactant derived from coconut fatty amines reacted with ethylene oxide. It functions as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and dispersant across a broad range of industrial and consumer formulations. In personal care, it conditions and emulsifies in hair rinses and cream formulations.

The product is utilized in antistatic treatments where uniform deposition matters. Industrial and institutional cleaners rely on it for degreasing and soil dispersion, particularly in hard surface and metal cleaning concentrates. Textile processors use it as a wetting and scouring agent to improve fiber penetration during dyeing and finishing operations. In paper and leather manufacturing, it supports surface modification and aids uniform coating adhesion.

Cocamine ethoxylated is supplied as a liquid or paste, depending on the degree of ethoxylation. Common grades vary by mole of ethylene oxide addition, typically ranging from 2 to 15 EO units. The specific mole count determines the HLB value and application fit for the end user. Technical-grade material is the standard commercial offering, with specifications confirmed against active content and pH.
