Cocoamine is a primary amine derived from natural coconut oil fatty acids. This versatile surfactant intermediate consists of a mixture of alkyl chains, predominantly C12 and C14, giving it a balance of surface activity and solubility properties. As a cationic precursor, it serves as a fundamental building block for numerous derivatives used across various industries. Its ability to form salts with acids and react with ethylene oxide and other alkylating agents makes it exceptionally valuable in the production of specialty chemicals.
