CAPB 30% (Cocamidopropyl Betaine)
Foam booster • mildness • amphoteric • personal-care
Active matter
30% ± 2%
pH (as is, 25 °C)
≈ 5.0–7.0
Sodium chloride
≈ 4–7%
Compatibility
anionic • nonionic • amphoteric
CAPB boosts foam, improves mildness, and helps salt‑thicken blends with SLES/SLS/APG. Choose low‑amide/low‑amine grades to minimize residual amidoamine/DMAPA where required. Not recommended with cationics in final use systems.

|
• Shampoos, body wash, facial cleansers, hand soaps: foam boost, mildness, viscosity build with salt.
• Kids/baby, sulfate‑free, APG blends, and 2‑in‑1 systems as co‑surfactant. • I&I: car wash, foamers, light‑duty cleaners (with anionics/nonionics). |
• 200 kg drums • 1,000 L IBCs.
• Small packs for R&D/QC trials. |
• Non‑DG. Store 5–35 °C; protect from freezing. If frozen, thaw gently at 25–35 °C and mix until uniform.
• Preserve aqueous systems appropriately. Avoid strong oxidizers. Typical shelf life 12 months sealed. |
Specs are representative; shipped material conforms to the COA for the lot. Personal‑care labeling and preservative limits vary by region—confirm locally.
