Coco Amine EO
5 EO
Coco Amine 5 EO is an ethoxylated fatty amine derived from coconut oil, containing approximately five ethylene oxide (EO) units. It is typically a pale yellow liquid with a mild, amine-like odor, partially soluble in water, and readily soluble in alcohols and organic solvents. Its structure provides a balance of hydrophobic (C12–C18 alkyl chains) and hydrophilic (EO) properties, making it a versatile nonionic surfactant with slight cationic character. In the oil and gas industry, Coco Amine 5 EO is widely used as an emulsifier, wetting agent, corrosion inhibitor, and component in asphaltene dispersants and demulsifier blends. It helps stabilize emulsions, improves compatibility between oil and water phases, and forms protective films on metal surfaces to minimize corrosion and enhance flow assurance.
15 EO
Coco Amine 15 EO is a highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant derived from coconut-based fatty amines, containing approximately 15 ethylene oxide (EO) units. It appears as a clear to slightly hazy, viscous pale yellow liquid with low odor, is soluble in water and polar solvents, and provides strong hydrophilic character due to its high EO content. In the oil and gas industry, Coco Amine 15 EO is used as a solubilizer, emulsifier, corrosion inhibitor component, and asphaltene dispersant in drilling fluids, production chemicals, and pipeline treatment. Its high ethoxylation level enhances water compatibility and makes it particularly effective in stabilizing oil-in-water emulsions, reducing surface tension, and improving the dispersion of heavy organics such as waxes and asphaltenes in crude oil systems.
