TEA-cocoate

TEA-cocoate (CAS 61790-64-5 ), the triethanolamine salt of coconut fatty acids, functions as an anionic surfactant and emulsifier across personal care and industrial cleaning formulations. It is also referenced commercially as coconut oil acids triethanolamine salt by raw material suppliers and formulators sourcing it as a distinct intermediate for various chemical applications. In personal care, it acts as the primary emulsifying and cleansing agent in liquid soaps, shampoos, and shaving creams, where it builds lather and stabilizes oil-in-water systems effectively. Home care and industrial cleaning products rely on it for degreasing hard surfaces and formulating alkaline cleaners, particularly where mildness toward substrates is a priority for the user. Textile processing uses this compound as a wetting and scouring agent to improve fiber penetration during pre-treatment and dyeing operations, ensuring high-quality results in fabric manufacturing. In leather finishing, it supports emulsification of fatliquoring agents and aids uniform coating adhesion. This ensures that the final leather products maintain a consistent texture and appearance. The product is supplied as a liquid or paste, depending on concentration and fatty acid chain distribution. It is available in technical and cosmetic grades for diverse industrial needs. Cosmetic-grade material meets purity requirements suitable for rinse-off and leave-on formulations. Bulk supply is standard in drums and IBC containers, with concentration ranging around 40–99% active content. Contact us for supply of TEA-cocoate Request Quote
