Daily and Personal Care

• Coco alkyl amine is one of the most important building blocks for daily and personal care surfactants, where its derivatives such as cocoamidopropyl betaine (CAB35), cocamide MEA and cocamide DEA are widely used in shampoos, body washes and facial cleansers. In mild shampoos for sensitive scalp, CAB35 at a few percent acts as a secondary surfactant that boosts foam, reduces irritation from anionic surfactants like AES or SLS and improves overall mildness, while humectants and thickeners fine-tune viscosity and conditioning. In conditioning shampoos for damaged or chemically treated hair, CAB35 works together with APG, polyquaternium conditioning polymers and emollient oils to provide a richer, creamier foam and better conditioning without relying on silicones.
• In baby and sensitive-skin body washes, cocoamidopropyl betaine combined with coconut-derived glycinate and PEG-type solubilizers provides extremely mild cleansing with dense, stable foam and good skin feel. Facial cleansers use CAB35 as a primary mild surfactant at a few percent in slightly acidic systems close to skin pH, making it suitable for sensitive skin and leave-on contact times longer than typical bodywash use. Cocoamide derivatives are also used in conditioners and hair masks as softening and antistatic additives, where they complement cationic quats and natural oils to improve combability and reduce flyaway.

Textile Industry

• In the textile sector, ethoxylated coco amines function as key components of antistatic softeners and multifunctional finishing agents. In high-antistatic softener formulations, cocoamine ethoxylates are combined with urea, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, triethanolamine borate esters and amide components to deliver strong antistatic performance, softness and handle improvement on synthetic and blended fibers. These systems form conductive and lubricating films on fiber surfaces, reducing static buildup during spinning, weaving and garment use.
• Cocoamine polyoxyethylene ethers such as AC-1203, AC-1202, AC-1205, AC-1210 and AC-1215 are employed as dispersants, antistatic agents, softening agents and emulsifiers for textile oils. Different EO chain lengths and amine values allow tailoring for specific uses such as latex stabilization, dye dispersion, lubricating finishes and dye-leveling auxiliaries. Coco alkyl trimethyl ammonium chloride is used as a cationic antistatic and softening agent in fiber treatment, improving fabric handfeel, reducing static attraction of dust and enhancing comfort and durability in finished textiles.

Mining Flotation Industry

• Coco alkyl amine plays a crucial role in mineral processing as a cationic collector, particularly in the reverse flotation of silicate minerals from iron ores and in lithium mica flotation. In iron-ore reverse flotation, cocoamine-based collectors are used in combination with modifiers such as acetic acid, alcohols and nitrogen-containing auxiliaries to selectively adsorb on silicate gangue, enabling iron minerals to be recovered in the underflow. Optimized dosage windows and pH control allow iron concentrates to be upgraded from low-grade feeds to significantly higher Fe content with acceptable recovery.
• For lithium mica, cocoamine is used as a collector under controlled pH conditions with carefully designed roughing and cleaning flowsheets; industrial cases show that appropriate dosage and flowsheet design can yield high-grade Li₂O concentrates with high overall recovery. Beyond iron and lithium ores, coco primary amines are also applied as collectors or co-collectors in the flotation of feldspar–quartz mixtures, graphite, sulfur, diamond, mica, fluorite, apatite, barite and other silicate and nonmetallic minerals, where their strong surface activity and selectivity towards certain mineral surfaces enable efficient separations and high-purity concentrates.

Metalworking and Metal Cleaning

• In metalworking, coco-derived amides and amine ethoxylates act as emulsifiers, lubricants and corrosion-inhibiting components in water-based and fully synthetic cutting fluids. Formulations for environmentally friendly all-synthetic metalworking fluids combine oleic polyoxyethylene esters, coco fatty acid diethanolamide, TEA esters, resin solutions, dicarboxylic esters, defoamers and corrosion inhibitors in water to provide good lubricity, emulsification, cooling and anti-rust performance for ferrous materials. Other water-based cutting fluids use nonionic ethoxylates, mono-glyceride derivatives, coco fatty acid diethanolamides and synthetic rust inhibitors to build stable emulsions with low foaming and reliable corrosion protection.
• In rust-preventive cutting fluids for machine tools, cocoamidopropyl betaine and related amphoteric surfactants are combined with triethanolamine, chelating agents, TEA esters, polymers and vegetable oils to provide both machining lubricity and temporary rust protection. Cocoamine ethoxylates and related esters are further used in metal cleaning formulations as emulsifiers, detergents and corrosion inhibitors that can solubilize oils and waxes while leaving a protective film. Coconut fatty acid esters and diethanolamides also serve as lubricants and rust inhibitors in mechanical and metal-processing applications.

Plastics and Rubber Industry

• In plastics, coco alkyl amine and its ethoxylates are used mainly as internal antistatic agents and processing aids. Typical internal antistatic systems for polypropylene prepare a concentrate based on cocoamine and ethylene oxide adducts, N,N-di(hydroxyethyl) cocoamide, borate esters, glycerol esters and phosphite stabilizers which is then let down into PP to provide permanent or long-lasting antistatic performance. Commercial products based on coco bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amine are widely employed as internal antistatics for PE, LDPE, PP, SAN, ABS and HIPS, and may also be offered as SAN-based masterbatches.
• In rubber processing, cocoamine and its polyoxyethylene ethers serve as emulsifiers and dispersants in latex systems and rubber compounding. They support the emulsification of monomers and oils, dispersion of fillers and pigments and stabilization of latex during polymerization and storage. Tertiary amines derived from two coco chains are used as antistatic agents in rubber products, as softeners for textile-reinforced rubber fabrics and as biocidal or disinfectant additives in related industrial auxiliaries.

Agricultural Adjuvants

• In agriculture, ethoxylated cocoamines are widely used as emulsifiers, dispersants, wetting agents and antistatic components in pesticide formulations. Cocoamine ethoxylates with average EO degrees around 2–12, particularly 2–8, improve wetting and spreading of sprays on plant surfaces, enhancing coverage, deposition and absorption of active ingredients. These nonionic surfactants also contribute to emulsion stability in EC formulations and dispersion stability in SC systems.
• Coco alkyl amine derivatives act as adjuvants for herbicides, fungicides and other agrochemicals, helping to reduce surface tension, control droplet formation and improve penetration into cuticles and waxy layers. In fertilizer handling, cocoamine is used in anticaking agents prepared by dissolving long-chain amines and fatty acids into an oil phase based on fatty acid methyl esters or their fractions; applied at low dosages onto granular fertilizers, these coatings reduce agglomeration and improve storage and handling.

Coatings and Inks

• In coatings and inks, coco alkyl amine and its ethoxylates function as dispersants, wetting agents and leveling agents. In solvent-borne systems, amine-based super-dispersant compositions incorporate coco amines at a few to several percent together with other polymeric or oligomeric components to develop strong pigment wetting, low-viscosity dispersions and improved flow and leveling in printing inks and industrial coatings.
• In water-borne and solventborne paints, cocoamine ethoxylates with moderate EO numbers (e.g. 5EO) act as emulsifiers and wetting agents that stabilize emulsions and improve substrate wetting. Higher-EO variants such as 15EO grades are employed in textile and printing applications as dispersants and leveling agents for dyes and pigments. In inks, cocoamine ethoxylates help stabilize pigment dispersions and adjust rheology, while coco diethanolamides can assist in dispersing oils, colors and pigments in complex ink formulations.

Paper Industry

• In papermaking, coco alkyl amine derivatives are used as antistatic agents, softeners and hydrophobizing agents. Cocoalkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride is employed as an amine-type antistatic agent in pulp, reducing charge buildup on fibers and finished sheets and thereby improving runnability, dust behavior and converting performance. Ethoxylated cocoamines with different EO numbers are applied as antistatic and softening additives, improving both handling and tactile feel of paper products.
• Cocoacyl propyl dimethyl tertiary amines are used as paper water-repellent agents that form hydrophobic layers on sheet surfaces, increasing water resistance and improving performance in packaging and specialty grades. Cocoamine-based dispersants also assist in dispersing pigments and fillers in coating formulations, helping achieve uniform color, smooth surfaces and improved printability.

Water Treatment and Environmental Protection

• In water treatment, coco alkyl amine and its derivatives serve as corrosion inhibitors, biocides, flocculation aids and antistatic components. Cocoamine ethoxylates show good corrosion-inhibiting and rust-preventing performance in aqueous environments, and can be used in cooling-water or process-water formulations. Coco trimethyl ammonium salts adsorb on negatively charged surfaces in water systems, forming protective films that provide both flocculation assistance and corrosion inhibition.
• Cocoamidopropyl betaine and cocoamine derivatives are also considered in the development of greener water-treatment formulations, where biodegradability and reduced toxicity are important. These materials can support the design of high-efficiency corrosion inhibitors, flocculants and cleaning agents for equipment in water and wastewater plants, while aligning with tightening environmental regulations.

Electronic Materials

• In electronic materials, cocoalkyl-based quaternary ammonium salts and ethoxylates are used in fine-pattern processing and specialized coatings. Coco bis(hydroxyethyl)methyl quaternary chlorides are applied in display panels, integrated circuits and discrete semiconductor devices as components in fine-pattern processing formulations, where controlled surface activity and charge behavior are critical.
• Ethoxylated cocoamines are also used as antistatic agents in high-performance coatings such as marine paints, helping to dissipate charges and reduce dust attraction on coated surfaces. The combination of hydrophobic alkyl chains and hydrophilic EO segments gives these molecules both compatibility with resin systems and the ability to tune surface resistivity.

Lubricant and Additive Applications

• In lubricants, coco alkyl amine and its ethoxylates function as friction modifiers, emulsifiers and rust inhibitors. Cocoamines and their ethoxylates are used as additives in lubricating oils where they provide boundary lubrication, detergency and corrosion protection, often in combination with other polar additives and base oils.
• Tertiary amines derived from coco chains are used in lubricant additive packages and can contribute antistatic performance, surface activity and deposit control. In green lubrication concepts, derivatives from coconut oil—including cocoamide and cocoamine ethoxylates—are attractive as bio-based components in environmentally friendly lubricants and metalworking fluids.

New Energy, Biobased Materials and Advanced Applications

• Coco alkyl amine derivatives are being explored as electrolyte additives for lithium-ion batteries, where they can influence electrode–electrolyte interfaces and help improve cycling performance and safety. In solar and wind energy applications, coco-based surfactants and additives are considered for composites processing, surface treatment and protective coatings on components such as blades and panels.
• As part of bio-based material development, coco alkyl amine derivatives are used as processing aids in biodegradable plastics and as fully bio-based surfactants from renewable resources. They also serve as dispersants and surface modifiers for nanomaterials and nanocomposites, and as functional components in water-treatment technologies, gas-treatment sorbents and soil-remediation formulations that leverage their amphiphilicity and cationic character.
