- Proprietes
- Viscosity builder : diethanolamides will greatly increase the viscosity of aqueous solutions even in small quantities. They will also give pronounced thickening action in combination with other surfactants.
- Foam boosting and foam stabilizing : They will act as foam boosters and foam stabilizers in most nonionic and ionic surfactant systems. The coconut chain length gives the optimum combination of foam boosting, foam stabilizing, viscosity and bubble structure. They stabilize the foam of other detergents and retard foam collapse in greasy soils.
- Detergency : diethanolamide has limited detergency properties. The amide KDK type however contains enough soap and free diethanolamine to give them good detergency properties. The addition of diethanolamides will improve the detergency of other detergents.
- Corrosion inhibition : even dilute solutions of diethanolamides retard corrosion. In aqueous and nonaqueous systems such as metal cutting the longer chain diethanolamides are more effective corrosion inhibitors.
- Emulsifying, dispersing : diethanolamides by themselves or in combination with other ionic or non ionic surfactants will produce stable o/w or w/o emulsions. Generally the longer chain diethanolamides are preferred for w/o and shorter chain amides for o/w emulsions.
- Lubricating properties : The longer chain amides have exellent lubricating qualities.
- Limitations : diethanolamides are sensitive to salts and can be thrown out of solutions by small concentrations of electrolytes. The amides are also sensitive to a pH below 8 which will cause clouding and gelling. Addi-tion of amonic surfactants will prevent this thrown out, clouding or gelling even when diethanolamides are used in neutral solutions.
- Product Highlights
- Amide KDK is a coconut fatty acids diethan-olamides. It is basically fatty acid diethanolamides from diethanolamine and the fatty acids from coconut oil. These amides, a series of surfactants with many functional properties find use in a wide variety of consumer and industrial products. It's surface active properties originate from the balance between the hydrophilic hydroxyalkyl groups on the substituted nitrogen atom and the lipophilic fatty acid in the molecules.
