Expert Verdict
Primary concern is potential nitrosamine formation if combined with nitrosating systems. The diisopropanolamine (DIPA) moiety is a secondary amine, making it susceptible to nitrosation. Must be formulated to keep nitrosamine levels below detectable limits. A fatty acid diisopropanolamide derived from lauric acid (coconut-derived). Provides foam stabilization, viscosity enhancement, and emulsification in aqueous surfactant systems. Similar in function to Lauramide DEA but uses diisopropanolami...
