Cocamidopropyl Betaine at a Glance
Cocamidopropyl Betaine, commonly abbreviated CAPB, is an amphoteric surfactant based on coconut fatty-acid chains. The supplied aqueous concentrate is light-yellow transparent liquid with active matter 30±2%. Commercial coconut-chain distribution is not represented by one fixed molecular formula. Supply specification: Active matter 30±2%. ZXCHEM supplies this material from China in 200 kg plastic drums / 1000 kg IBCs.

What Is Cocamidopropyl Betaine?
Cocamidopropyl Betaine, commonly abbreviated CAPB, is an amphoteric surfactant based on coconut fatty-acid chains. The supplied aqueous concentrate is light-yellow transparent liquid with active matter 30±2%. Commercial coconut-chain distribution is not represented by one fixed molecular formula.
The supply specification controls solids ≥35%, sodium chloride ≤6%, colour ≤100 Hazen, amino nitrogen ≤0.5%, pH 4–7 and free amine ≤0.5%. Active-matter and salt content are important when comparing concentrates and developing viscosity in surfactant blends.
Shampoo, body wash and facial-cleanser development should evaluate CAPB with the selected anionic, nonionic or cationic ingredients. Test foam character, viscosity response, preservation and rinsing in the complete system. Ingredient positioning does not establish finished-product mildness.
Concentrate eye and skin exposure must be controlled even though the matched aqueous reference is non-dangerous goods for transport. ZXCHEM supplies 200 kg plastic drums or 1000 kg IBCs, with a stated 24-month shelf life under sealed, cool and dry conditions. TDS, reference SDS and free test samples support procurement.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine Applications
Shampoo and hair cleansers
Amphoteric co-surfactant for selected shampoo systems. Evaluate foam, salt response, compatibility and rinse feel in the complete formula.
Body wash and bubble bath
Ingredient for selected cleansing and foaming systems. Compare active matter, blend viscosity, preservation and finished-product performance.
Facial and mild-cleansing systems
Ingredient for qualified cleanser development. Test impurity requirements, irritation potential, compatibility and the final formulation rather than assuming mildness from the raw material.
