CAPB 45% — Cocamidopropyl Betaine 45
High-active cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB 45) — 38–42% active matter — for foam boosting, thickening and mildness in detergents, liquid soaps and shampoos.
Export orders only — minimum quantities apply. We reply with pricing, lead time and shipping options.
CAPB 45 is the high-active grade of cocamidopropyl betaine. It does the same job as CAPB 35 — boosting foam, building viscosity and reducing the irritation of SLES and LABSA systems — with more active matter per kilogram, so less water is shipped and stored.
Key points
- High-active grade: 38 – 42% active matter, 45 ± 2% solids
- Amphoteric surfactant — compatible with anionic, cationic and non-ionic systems
- Improves foam volume and stability and builds viscosity
- Light colour: colourless to light-yellow, ≤ 100 Hazen
- Supplied in drums and IBC totes
