Dimethyl Cocamine (also called as Coco Alkyldimethylamine, or Dimethylamine coconut-derived) is a fatty tertiary amine derived from coconut oil, typically comprising C12–C18 alkyl chains. It is commonly available in high purity grades such as Grade-Coco Alkyldimethyl Amine-98%. Also referred to as Dimethyl cocoalkylamine by speciality chemical suppliers and manufacturers This compound serves as a key intermediate in the production of quaternary ammonium compounds, surfactants, textile softeners, emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, and antistatic agents. C₁₈H₃₉N's molecular structure-characterized by a hydrophobic alkyl tail and a reactive dimethylamine head (R–N(CH₃)₂)-makes it particularly suitable for surfactant synthesis & chemical derivatization. Dimethyl Cocamine’s surface-active properties and compatibility with hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) requirements make it deeply valued universally in industrial formulations and personal care products, including emulsifying systems.

Yes, it is derived from coconut oil fatty acids and is considered bio-based.
Quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), alkyl dimethyl betaines, and amine oxides.
No, but its derivatives (e.g., betaines, quats) are water-soluble.
Yes, cosmetic-grade Dimethyl Cocamine is available with supporting documentation.
Yes, it's a largely used base for antistatic agents in textile applications.
Dimethyl Cocamine is the common name. Coco Alkyldimethyl Amine is a INCIname. They both refer to the same compound, a mixture of tertiary amines derived from coconut oil.
180 kg drum or 1000 L IBC tanks are most common. Bulk packaging on request.
COA, MSDS, TDS, GHS-compliant labeling, and origin certificate. Is this product export-ready? Yes, including custom clearance documents and transport-safe packaging.
Yes, you can purchase Cocodimethylamine in bulk quantities.
