A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Request SDS →PEG-6 Lauramide DEA (CAS 26635-75-6) is an ethoxylated lauric-acid diethanolamide supplied as a nonionic surfactant. Industry references record the lauramide ingredient class as a cosmetic emulsifying agent; it is also used as a foam-supporting and viscosity-building additive in surfactant-based cleansers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is lauramide DEA used for?
Lauramide DEA-type surfactants are used as foam boosters, viscosity builders, and emulsifying agents in surfactant-based cleansers. PEG-6 lauramide DEA (CAS 26635-75-6), the ethoxylated lauric-acid diethanolamide, serves as a nonionic emulsifier and foam-supporting, thickening additive in shampoos and body washes.
What is the difference between lauramide DEA and PEG-6 lauramide DEA?
Lauramide DEA is the diethanolamide of lauric acid; PEG-6 lauramide DEA is the same amide further ethoxylated with about 6 ethylene-oxide units. The ethoxylation increases water solubility and changes its surfactant and viscosity-building behavior relative to the non-ethoxylated amide.
What is PEG-6 lauramide DEA made from?
It is produced from lauric acid (a C12 fatty acid, typically coconut- or palm-kernel-derived) reacted with diethanolamine to form the lauramide, which is then ethoxylated with approximately 6 ethylene-oxide units. Its molecular formula is listed as C16H33NO3.
What is the CAS number and HS code for PEG-6 lauramide DEA?
It carries CAS 26635-75-6 and typically classifies under HS heading 3402.42 (nonionic surface-active agents). Confirm the import classification for your jurisdiction with your broker.
