About this product
Coco Monoethanolamide (CMEA, CAS 68140-00-1) is a coconut-derived fatty alkanolamide supplied as creamish to white flakes. Formulators use it as a foam booster, thickener and emulsifier in detergent and personal-wash systems. It is the mono- counterpart of Coco Diethanolamide (CDEA), which we also stock. We hold CMEA in bagged flake form at our Redhills, Chennai warehouse and dispatch across South India.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the full form of CMEA in chemicals?
CMEA stands for Coco Monoethanolamide, also written as Cocamide MEA or coconut fatty acid monoethanolamide. It is a coconut-derived fatty alkanolamide, CAS 68140-00-1.
What is coco monoethanolamide (CMEA) used for?
CMEA is used in detergent and personal-care formulations as a foam booster, foam stabiliser, thickener and emulsifier. Typical applications include shampoos, hand wash, dishwash concentrates, liquid detergents, and detergent powders, cakes and bars.
What is the CAS number and HSN code for Coco Mono CMEA?
The CAS number is 68140-00-1 and the HSN code is 3402 13 00. Both are printed on our technical data sheet (SPC-TDS-SUR-003), which you can download from this page along with the MSDS.
What is the difference between CMEA and CDEA?
Both are coconut-derived fatty alkanolamides. CMEA is the monoethanolamide; CDEA is the diethanolamide counterpart. We stock both. The CMEA grade we supply is a flake amide, so the choice usually comes down to handling format and the foam and viscosity behaviour the formulation needs.
Which CMEA grade do you stock, and what does it test to?
We supply Ginamide AI, a flake amide manufactured by Godrej Industries Limited at its Valia (DTA) Plant, Bharuch, Gujarat. Per the manufacturer's Certificate of Analysis it tests to amide 80.0% min, amine value 20.0 min, melting point 55.0 – 65.0 °C, pH 7.0 – 10.5 (10% in ethanol) and moisture 1.0% max.
Do you supply CMEA flakes in Chennai?
Yes. We hold Coco Monoethanolamide at our Redhills, Chennai warehouse in bagged flake form and dispatch across South India. Call or WhatsApp +91 86087 80096 for a quote — order sizes depend on packaging and current stock.
Is CMEA hazardous, and how should it be stored?
Ginamide AI CMEA is a non-hazardous fatty amide; avoid eye and skin contact when handling. Store in tightly closed containers, protected from moisture and heat, away from direct sunlight.
