Dimethyl Cocamine is a mixture of coconut oil–derived tertiary amines characterized by the general structure R-N(CH₃)₂, where R is a C12–C18 fatty chain. Also called as coco alkyl dimethyl is a compound used as an intermediate for quaternary ammonium surfactants, textile softeners, corrosion inhibitors, and emulsifiers in industrial and personal care applications. Coco alkyldimethylamines' s hydrophobic tail and reactive amine group make it suitable for derivatization and surfactant synthesis. Dimethyl Cocamine serves as a base building block in the synthesis of cationic surfactants, antistatics. Its long-chain alkyl groups from coconut oil provide compatibility where hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) control is needed.
