Tallamide DEA

Tallamide DEA (CAS 68155-20-4), also known as Tallowamide DEA, is a diethanolamine condensate of tall oil fatty acids.

Where is Tallamide DEA used?

• Personal care: foam booster, viscosity builder and emulsifier in surfactant-based systems
• Shampoos, liquid soaps and body washes: thickens the base and stabilizes foam
• Industrial and household cleaners: improves soil emulsification and sustains foam performance
• Metalworking fluids: emulsifier and lubricity additive in water-soluble cutting and grinding fluids
• Textile and leather processing: improves wetting and emulsification during scouring, dyeing and fat-liquoring
• It maintains high performance across varying water hardness conditions.

Good to know: Stabilization is particularly effective alongside anionic surfactants such as SLES.

Commercial specifications

• Bulk supply in drums and IBC containers
• Composition reflects the mixed fatty acid profile characteristic of tall oil origin
