About CDEA 85%

Coconut Diethanolamide (CDEA) is a highly versatile and widely used surfactant, valued for its excellent thickening, emulsifying, and foaming characteristics. Derived from naturally sourced coconut oil, CDEA delivers a perfect balance of performance and mildness, making it suitable for both personal care and industrial applications.


Its high compatibility with anionic, non-ionic, and amphoteric surfactants allows formulators to develop high-quality shampoos, soaps, and detergents with improved texture and stability. CDEA also reduces irritation potential in formulations, enhancing the sensory profile of final products.


One of the core strengths of CDEA is its ability to enhance viscosity and create rich, stable foam without significantly increasing cost. This makes it a preferred choice for manufacturers looking for both performance and value.


Industries rely on trusted coconut diethanolamide cdea manufacturers who ensure consistent quality, purity, and compliance with international standards. With its strong performance profile and broad formulation compatibility, CDEA continues to be a critical ingredient in home care, personal care, and industrial cleaning products.


Whether used for foam boosting, thickening, or stabilization, Coconut Diethanolamide remains an essential and reliable surfactant for numerous chemical formulations.
