ROKAmin K5 is a non-ionic surfactant with the INCI name ‘PEG-5 Cocamine’. It belongs to ethoxylated fatty amines with an average ethoxylation of 5 mols. The commercial product contains approximately 100% of the active substance. ROKAmin K5 has a form of a clear liquid with the color of amber. Its freezing point is approx. -19°C. The product dissolves well in water. Due to the presence of the oxyethylene double chain at the nitrogen atom, the product has a combination of action in the application as a nonionic and cationic surfactant, especially in acid systems. Owing to its cationic character, a molecule of ROKAmin K5 can create a single film on a metal surface. Consequently, the product shows an anti-corrosion effect, in particular on ferrous metals.
