About Sodium Cocoamphoacetate：

Chemical structure: Sodium cocamoyl amphoacetic acid comprises cocamoyl and amphoteric groups. The cool group is usually the fatty acyl group of C12-C14, while the amphoteric group is formed from acetic and carboxylic acids or other organic acids. This unique structure enables it to have the characteristics of anionic surfactants and some properties of cationic surfactants.

Solubility: Sodium cocamphoamphoacetate is soluble in water and completely dissolves at low concentrations. Its solubility in hot water is higher than in cold water. In addition, it is stable in the pH range of 5-9.

Surface activity: Due to its unique chemical structure, sodium cocamphoamphoacetate has excellent surface activity and can significantly reduce the surface tension of water, so it can effectively foam and clean. In addition, it also has good resistance to hard water and can maintain stable performance in water of various hardness.

Mild: Sodium cocamphoamphoacetate is less irritating to the skin and eyes, so it is a mild surfactant. In personal care products, it is often used as an ingredient to replace conventional surfactants that are more irritating.

Stability: Sodium cocamoylamphoacetate has good chemical stability and is not easily decomposed under normal storage and use conditions. In addition, it also has good heat resistance and acid and alkali resistance so that it can maintain stable performance under different pH values and temperature conditions.

Biodegradability: Sodium cocamoylamphoacetate has good biodegradability and water by microorganisms in the natural environment. This property makes it one of the representatives of environmentally friendly surfactants.

Applications  Sodium Cocoamphoacetate：

Personal care products: Sodium cocoyl amphoacetic acid is important in personal care products. Sodium cocamphoylamphoacetate is often added as the main surfactant in personal cleaning products such as shampoo, body wash, and face wash. It provides a rich foam, gently cleans the skin and has excellent foaming properties. In addition, the low irritability of sodium cocamphoamphoacetate makes it a preferred ingredient for people with sensitive skin.

Household cleaning products: In household cleaning products, sodium cocoyl amphoacetate is widely used in laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, hand sanitizer and other products. It can effectively remove stains and oil stains and provide a good cleaning effect. At the same time, sodium cocamoyl acetoacetic acid is compatible with other ingredients and can cooperate with other surfactants and preservatives in the formulation to improve the cleaning effect and product stability.

Industrial cleaning agents: In the industrial field, sodium cocoyl acetoacetic acid is widely used to prepare cleaning agents. Due to its excellent surface activity and decontamination ability, sodium cocamphoamphoacetate can effectively remove dirt from various equipment and surfaces, improve cleaning efficiency, and extend the equipment's service life.

Pesticide emulsifier: In pesticides, sodium cocamphoamphoacetate can be used as an emulsifier. It can evenly disperse pesticides in water to form a stable emulsion, which is easy to spray and use pesticides. This helps to improve the adhesion and coverage of pesticides and enhance the control effect.

Water treatment: Sodium cocoyl amphoacetic acid also has application value in water treatment. It can be used as a flocculant or dispersant to help remove suspended particles and harmful substances from water. By adjusting the pH value and other parameters, sodium cocamoyl acetoacetic acid can interact with impurities in the water, promote sedimentation or dispersion, and improve the water quality.

Cosmetics formulations: Sodium cocamoylamphoacetate is also widely used because of its mild, low irritant and good compatibility. Adding sodium cocamoyl acetoacetic acid to cosmetics such as face creams, moisturizers, and lipstick can improve the moisturizing degree and use the feeling of products while maintaining their stability.

Nanomaterial preparation: In nanotechnology, sodium cocamoylamphoacetate can be used as a stabilizer and surface modifier to prepare nanoparticles and nanofibers. It can provide a stable dispersion system, prevent nanoparticle aggregation, and improve nanomaterials' dispersion and surface properties through interaction with the surface of the nanomaterials.

Production Method of Sodium Cocoamphoacetate：

Chemical synthesis method:

Chemical synthesis is a common method for preparing sodium cocoyl amphoacetic acid. The method involves a series of complex chemical reactions and separation and purification processes. The following are the brief steps of chemical synthesis:

Starting raw materials: Select suitable raw materials, such as coconut oil, fatty acids, glycolic acid, etc. These raw materials are usually extracted from natural resources or prepared through other chemical reactions.

Acylation reaction: The acylation reaction of coconut oil fatty acid and glycolic acid under a catalyst to produce coconut acid anhydride. Acylation conditions require strict control of temperature and pressure to ensure the smooth progress of the reaction and the purity of the product.

Esterification reaction: The cool anhydride obtained in the previous step is esterized with acetic or acetic anhydride to produce the target product, sodium cocoyl acetoacetic acid. In the esterification reaction, an appropriate amount of acid catalyst should be added to promote the formation of ester groups.

Separation and purification: After a series of separation and purification steps, such as water washing, extraction, distillation, etc., to remove excess raw materials and by-products to obtain high-purity sodium cocoyl acetoacetic acid.

Drying and packaging: The purified sodium cocamphoamphoacetate is dried and packaged according to specified quality standards for subsequent application.

Biological fermentation method:

In addition to chemical synthesis, biological fermentation is also a method for preparing sodium cocamoylamphoacetate. Biological fermentation uses microorganisms to convert coconut oil or other fatty acids into target products. The following are the brief steps of the biological fermentation process:

Microbial selection and culture: Select microbial species that can convert coconut oil or other fatty acids to sodium cocamphoamphoacetate, such as mould or yeast. The microorganisms are cultured in an appropriate medium to provide sufficient viable bacteria for fermentation.

Fermentation: Microorganisms are inoculated into a fermentation medium containing coconut oil or other fatty acids and fermented at the appropriate temperature, pH and oxygen conditions. Fatty acids are converted to sodium cocamphoamphoacetate by microbial metabolism.

Extraction and separation: After a certain fermentation period, the liquid is collected, extracted, and separated. The sodium cocoyl acetoacetic acid is usually separated from the fermentation liquid by solvent extraction, precipitation and centrifugation.

Purification and refining: After initial separation, the products may contain other impurities and need to be purified and refined. The purity and quality of sodium cocamphoylamphoacetic acid were improved using crystallization, recrystallization and distillation.

Drying and packaging: The purified sodium cocamphoamphoacetate is dried and packaged according to specified quality standards for subsequent application.
