Soyamide DEA
What is Soyamide DEA?
Soyamide DEA (CAS 68425-47-8), also known commercially as Mackamide S, is a diethanolamide derived from soybean fatty acids used as a foam booster, thickener, and emulsifier in personal care and industrial cleaning formulations.
Where is Soyamide DEA used?
- Shampoos, body washes and liquid hand soaps: boosts and stabilizes foam from anionic surfactants while thickening the base
- Industrial and institutional cleaners: improves soil suspension and extends foam persistence in hard-surface and degreasing applications
- Textile processing: emulsifier and lubricant aid during fiber preparation and finishing
- Leather treatment and paper manufacturing: supports emulsification of processing oils and improves surface conditioning
- It stabilizes foam systems and improves product texture without synthetic fatty acid feedstocks.
Commercial specifications
- Drum and IBC packaging for bulk procurement
- Standard active content concentrations
