Daily chemical industry
|
It is used as a main component in detergents, wetting agents, and emulsifiers, and has rust-preventive properties. It is an important raw material for formulating metal cleaning agents. When used in combination with anionic surfactants, it has foam-stabilizing properties. When used with soap, its resistance to hard water is improved. It can also be used as a component in oiling agents for synthetic fibers such as polypropylene.

Stability and storage conditions
Cocoyl oleate monoethanolamide is relatively stable under normal conditions, but it may decompose or deteriorate due to the influence of light, oxygen, and humidity. Therefore, it should be stored in airtight containers to reduce contact with air , and excessively high or low temperatures should be avoided. It is best to store it at room temperature in a cool, dry place .
