NINOL® 40-CO is a cochin oil-based dea amide generated through a type 1:1 reaction between the ester of a fatty acid and diethanolamine. It contributes to viscosity building, foam boosting, and stabilization. Its uses encompass shampoos, bubble baths, light-duty liquids, cutting fluids, drawing compounds, and metalworking cleaners.

Safety & Health

Health Effects

NINOL 40-CO is practically non-toxic orally (LD₅₀ is between 5 and 10 g/kg) and causes mild skin and moderate eye irritation.

Packaging & Availability

Packaging Type
Standard Packaging

NINOL 40-CO is available in bulk and 55 gallon drums.

Storage & Handling

Storage & Handling
  • Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling NINOL 40-CO. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling material.
  • It is recommended that NINOL 40-CO be stored in sealed containers and kept at temperatures not exceeding 120°F (49°C). As with all DEA amides, if overheating does occur, amide ester will be formed. To reverse the reaction, NINOL 40-CO should be stored at room temperature for approximately one week. Failure to do so may result in formulation products with decreased foam and low viscosity.
  • Bulk Storage Information: Tanks, piping and centrifugal pumps of carbon steel are recommended. Recommended storage for bulk tanks is 85-105°F (29-41°C).
Workplace Exposure

Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapors and mists. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace practices should be used to control these exposures.
