PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Product Description
CAB/CPAB Series Cocamidopropyl Betaine is an amphoteric surfactant supplied as a yellowish clear liquid and readily soluble in water. It is widely used as a functional raw material in liquid detergents, dishwashing products, shampoos, shower gels, hand soaps, facial cleansers, and other personal-care and cleaning formulations.
The material provides effective cleansing and foam-boosting performance while also supporting viscosity development, conditioning, antistatic functionality, and formulation stability. Its amphoteric character allows it to work effectively with a broad range of commonly used surfactant systems.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine is particularly useful in formulations requiring balanced foam performance, wetting, cleansing, texture control, and conditioning characteristics. It can also support formulation performance under varying pH and hard-water conditions.
The referenced specification controls appearance, solid content, active matter, free amine, sodium chloride, and pH. Final suitability should be determined according to the intended application, supplier-specific technical documentation, impurity profile, and applicable regulatory requirements.

STORAGE & HANDLING
Handling Guidance
Store in securely closed and appropriately labeled compatible containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location. Protect the material from excessive heat, prolonged direct sunlight, contamination, and incompatible substances.
Keep containers properly closed when the product is not in use to help maintain product quality. Follow the supplier-specific Safety Data Sheet, workplace hygiene requirements, and applicable chemical-handling procedures.
Because Cocamidopropyl Betaine quality can be influenced by residual amine-related impurities, product selection and handling should follow the actual supplier's technical and safety documentation.
Storage, transportation, spill management, and disposal should comply with applicable regulations and the documentation provided by the PBL supplier.
