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.
