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 →Lauramide DEA and Propylene Glycol is a formulated blend pairing lauramide DEA (the diethanolamide of lauric acid, a nonionic surfactant) with propylene glycol as a carrier and solvent. The lauramide DEA component functions as a foam booster and stabilizer and as a viscosity builder in liquid detergent and personal-care systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lauramide DEA and Propylene Glycol?
It is a formulated blend pairing lauramide DEA (the diethanolamide of lauric acid, a nonionic surfactant) with propylene glycol as a carrier and solvent. The lauramide DEA component functions as a foam booster, stabilizer, and viscosity builder in liquid detergent and personal-care systems; the propylene glycol improves handling and solubility.
What is the difference between Lauramide DEA and Cocamide DEA?
Lauramide DEA is derived from a single fatty acid (lauric acid), while Cocamide DEA is made from mixed coconut fatty acids. This product is the lauramide DEA blend; if you require a cocamide-based surfactant instead, specify it on your RFQ as it is a different material.
Why is this supplied as a blend with propylene glycol?
Pairing lauramide DEA with propylene glycol delivers a ready-to-dose, more easily pumped and dispersed surfactant concentrate. The propylene glycol acts as a carrier and solvent, easing incorporation of the alkanolamide into liquid cleanser and shampoo bases.
What does this blend do in a formulation?
The lauramide DEA component boosts and stabilizes foam and builds viscosity in shampoos and liquid detergents, while the blend format provides a nonionic surfactant concentrate that is straightforward to meter into the batch. It is typically used as a co-surfactant alongside primary surfactants.
