Coco Diamine
Oil and Gas
Coco Diamine is a fatty aliphatic diamine derived from coconut oil. It appears as a pale yellow to amber liquid with a mild amine-like odor, is insoluble in water but soluble in alcohols and organic solvents, and exhibits strong surface activity and film-forming capabilities. In the oil and gas industry, Coco Diamine is widely used as a corrosion inhibitor, emulsifier, and as an additive in drilling muds and production chemicals. Its dual amine functionality allows for strong adsorption onto metal surfaces, creating a protective layer that prevents corrosion, while also helping to disperse asphaltenes and stabilize water-in-oil emulsions in crude oil systems.
Water Treatment
Coco Diamine is a primary aliphatic diamine derived from coconut fatty acids, typically composed of a mixture of C12–C14 alkyl chains bonded to a 1,3-diaminopropane backbone. It appears as a pale yellow to amber liquid or soft waxy solid with a mild amine odor, and is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in alcohols and other organic solvents. In water treatment applications, Coco Diamine is commonly used as a corrosion inhibitor and biocide booster in cooling towers, boiler systems, and wastewater facilities. Its dual amine groups allow it to adsorb strongly onto metal surfaces, forming a hydrophobic protective film that prevents corrosion. It also enhances the performance of disinfectants by disrupting microbial membranes.
