Description
Comperlan 100 is supplied in light yellow pearls, with an inherent odor.
On account of the viscosity-increasing and foam-stabilizing properties in the case of fat load, Comperlan 100 can be used in surfactant preparations.
This product has an amide contnet of 92-99%, an ester of max. 5%, a pH value (1% sol.) of 9-10, and a melting point of 70-75°C.
Coconut fatty acid monoethanolamide.
On account of the viscosity-increasing and foam-stabilizing properties especially in cases where there is a high lipid content, COMPERLAN 100 can be used in surfactant preparations.

Cocamide MEA, or cocamide monoethanolamine, is a solid, off-white to tan compound, often sold in flaked form.
The solid melts to yield a pale yellow viscous clear liquid.
It is a mixture of fatty acid amides which is produced from the fatty acids in coconut oil when reacted with ethanolamine.
Cocamide MEA and other cocamide ethanolamines such as cocamide DEA are used as foaming agents and nonionic surfactants in shampoos and bath products, and as emulsifying agents in cosmetics.

Cocamide MEA is derived from the fatty acids from coconut oil and monoethanolamine (MEA).
In cosmetics and personal care products, Cocamide MEA is used in the formulation of bath soaps and shampoo.
Why is it used in cosmetics and personal care products?
Comperlan 100 increases foaming capacity and/or stabilizes foam.
Comperlan 100 is also used to thicken the aqueous (water) portion of cosmetic and personal care products.
Comperlan 100
* Made by mixing the fatty acids from coconut oil and monoethanolamine (MEA). It comes in the form of a waxy, white substance.
Works as a thickener, foaming agent and emulsifier. Its functions are very similar to those of Cocamide DEA. Its mainly used to thicken and opacify a cosmetic formulation, and also works to enhance the properties of the main cleansing ingredient contained in a surfactant, most often a bath product like conditioner or body wash.

Functions:
Comperlan 100 works as a thickener, foaming agent and emulsifier.
Comperlan 100’s functions are very similar to those of Cocamide DEA.
Its mainly used to thicken and opacify a cosmetic formulation, and also works to enhance the properties of the main cleansing ingredient contained in a surfactant, most often a bath product like conditioner or body wash.
While its foaming capabilities are not directly responsible for cleansing the skin/hair, it allows the hands to efficiently work and spread the cleanser/shampoo across the surface, which in turn, helps the mechanical removal of dirt.
Comperlan 100 also provides excellent moisturization and conditioning to the hair/skin.
Comperlan 100 is most often used in opaque and syrupy cosmetic formulations such as hair dye, body wash, conditioner, dandruff treatment, liquid hand soap, cleanser, exfoliant/scrub, bubble bath and bath oil.
