Coco Amine EO
Industrial Applications
Coco Amine 5 EO is a nonionic surfactant used in the oil and gas industry as an emulsifier, wetting agent, corrosion inhibitor, and as a component in asphaltene dispersants and demulsifier blends. It stabilizes emulsions, enhances compatibility between oil and water phases, and forms protective films on metal surfaces to prevent corrosion and improve flow assurance.
Physical Properties
Coco Amine 5 EO is a pale yellow liquid with a mild amine-like odor. It is partially soluble in water and fully soluble in alcohols and organic solvents, with a balance of hydrophobic C12–C18 alkyl chains and hydrophilic ethylene oxide units that confer nonionic surfactant properties with slight cationic character.
Industrial Applications
Coco Amine 15 EO is used in the oil and gas industry as a solubilizer, emulsifier, corrosion inhibitor component, and asphaltene dispersant in drilling fluids, production chemicals, and pipeline treatments. Its high ethoxylation enhances water compatibility, stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions, reduces surface tension, and improves the dispersion of heavy organics such as waxes and asphaltenes in crude oil systems.
Physical Properties
Coco Amine 15 EO is a clear to slightly hazy, viscous pale yellow liquid with low odor. It is fully soluble in water and polar solvents, and its high ethylene oxide content provides strong hydrophilic character, making it an effective nonionic surfactant with excellent emulsifying and dispersing capabilities.
