BLIT Chemical Cocamide Methyl MEA CMMEA is a manufacturer-grade non-ionic surfactant derived from fatty acids of natural coconut oil and methyl monoethanolamine. It appears as a pale yellow viscous liquid with excellent foam boosting, thickening, and emulsifying abilities.

Cocamide Methyl MEA is widely used in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and household detergents to enhance foam volume and stability while improving viscosity and formulation aesthetics.

This surfactant is known for its mildness and biodegradability, making it ideal for sulfate-free and sensitive-skin formulations. It helps stabilize foam even in hard-water conditions and improves the sensory feel of cleansing systems. BLIT Chemical ensures consistent quality through strict COA and TDS specifications, delivering high-purity, low-amine content, and outstanding formulation compatibility.

Cocamide Methyl MEA Applications

Cocamide Methyl MEA is a high-performance, environmentally friendly non-ionic surfactant used in a wide range of formulations:

1. Shampoos & Hair Cleansers

Cocamide Methyl MEA functions as a foam stabilizer and viscosity enhancer, creating rich, stable lather and improving the texture of sulfate-free and gentle cleansing systems. It offers excellent synergy with betaine and amino-acid-based surfactants.

2. Body Washes & Facial Cleansers

It improves foaming performance, enhances the creamy texture, and provides a luxurious skin feel. Ideal for products targeted at mild cleansing and moisture retention.

3. Household Cleaning Agents

Used in dishwashing liquids and liquid detergents, Cocamide Methyl MEA enhances foam stability and rinsability, while providing mild skin-touch performance.

4. Industrial Cleaning & Foam Control

In technical applications, it serves as a foam stabilizer or co-emulsifier in industrial cleaning formulations where balanced foam and high efficiency are required.

Storage & Handling

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid direct sunlight and moisture exposure.

Usage Guidelines

Typical usage: 1–5% depending on foam and viscosity targets.
Compatible with anionic, non-ionic, and amphoteric surfactants.
Suitable pH range for formulation: 5.0–8.0.
