Cocamide Methyl MEA (CMMEA) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Palm Kernelamide Methyl MEA
- CMMEA
Cocamide methyl MEA supplier for detergent and personal-care formulators in Malaysia. This is the N-methyl monoethanolamide of coconut or palm-kernel fatty acids, a non-ionic amide surfactant supplied as a clear to pale yellow viscous liquid. It is written CMMEA in the trade and also as palm kernelamide methyl MEA when the feedstock is palm-kernel based.
Commercial grades differ mainly on active matter, colour, pH and free-amine limits, with a standard liquid grade for detergent bases and a tighter low-colour grade for clear or light-coloured products. Pack format is confirmed at quotation.
The main role is foam boosting, foam stabilisation and viscosity support in liquid dishwashing, laundry and household detergents, with a similar job in shampoo, body wash and liquid soap. It is a liquid, unlike cocamide MEA which is a waxy solid, and it is not cocamide DEA.
Send the required grade, any specification limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Common questions about cocamide methyl MEA
What is cocamide methyl MEA used for?
It is a non-ionic amide surfactant used mainly as a foam booster, foam stabiliser and viscosity aid in liquid dishwashing, laundry and household detergents and in rinse-off personal-care products.
Is cocamide methyl MEA the same as cocamide MEA?
No. Cocamide MEA is the monoethanolamide and comes as a waxy solid, while cocamide methyl MEA is the N-methyl derivative and is supplied as a liquid. They are separate products, so order the one named on the formulation.
Is cocamide methyl MEA the same as cocamide DEA?
No. Cocamide DEA is the diethanolamide, while cocamide methyl MEA is the methyl monoethanolamide. Both are amide surfactants but they are distinct products, and cocamide DEA has its own page.
What does CMMEA stand for?
CMMEA is the usual abbreviation for cocamide methyl MEA. The material is also written palm kernelamide methyl MEA when the feedstock is palm-kernel based rather than coconut based.
Which grades or forms can be supplied?
The product is a liquid and is supplied on the required grade, with active matter, colour and purity confirmed against the specification. Pack format is settled with the quotation rather than fixed on this page.
How should I request a cocamide methyl MEA price in Malaysia?
Provide the grade, any active-matter or colour limit, the application, quantity, delivery location and preferred packing. Price is issued on enquiry with a stated validity period.
