Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ingredient Linoleamide DEA?

Linoleamide DEA (CAS 68603-38-3, C22H41NO3) is a fatty-acid diethanolamide derived from linoleic acid. It is a surfactant used for foam boosting, viscosity building, and antistatic/conditioning effects in cleansing and personal-care formulations.

What is the difference between Linoleamide DEA and Cocamide DEA?

Both are fatty-acid diethanolamides used as foam boosters and viscosity builders; the difference is the fatty-acid feedstock. Linoleamide DEA is built on linoleic acid (a C18 unsaturated acid), while Cocamide DEA is derived from coconut-oil fatty acids (predominantly C12 lauric), giving different chain-length and unsaturation profiles.

What is Linoleamide DEA used for in formulations?

It functions as a foam booster to increase foam volume and stability in cleansers, as a viscosity builder to thicken aqueous surfactant systems, and as a conditioning/antistatic agent in hair-care formulas.

What is the CAS number and molecular formula of Linoleamide DEA?

Linoleamide DEA carries CAS 68603-38-3 with the molecular formula C22H41NO3. Reference these identifiers on the Certificate of Analysis when matching against your formulation specification.

Does RawSource supply Linoleamide DEA in bulk?

Yes. RawSource distributes Linoleamide DEA in bulk industrial volumes for personal-care and cleansing manufacturers. A Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet ship with each order; request both with your bulk quote.
