Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Cocamidopropyl Betaine (abbreviated as CAPB) is a zwitterionic surfactant synthesized from natural coconut oil derivatives. It is renowned for its mildness, low irritation, excellent foaming, and thickening properties. It is widely used in personal care and cleaning products. It is typically supplied as a clear or pale yellow viscous liquid (approx. 30-35% aqueous solution).

Basic Properties


  1. Chemical Name: Cocamidopropyl Betaine

  2. Also known as: CAPB, Cocoamidopropyl Betaine

  3. CAS No.: [61789-40-0] (common mixture CAS), [86438-79-1] (also frequently used)

  4. Molecular Formula: C₁₉H₃₈N₂O₃ (representative component, actually a mixture)

  5. Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow clear viscous liquid

  6. Odor: Slight characteristic odor

  7. Solubility: Soluble in water. Has good compatibility with anionic, cationic, and non-ionic surfactants.

  8. Chemical Properties:

    • Amphoteric Nature: Exhibits cationic properties in acidic conditions and anionic properties in neutral and alkaline conditions.

    • Mildness: Very low irritation to skin and eyes.

    • Thickening: Synergizes with anionic surfactants (e.g., SLES) to significantly increase product viscosity.

    • Foam Stabilizing: Produces rich, fine, and stable foam.

Main Applications


  1. Personal Care Products:

    • Shampoos & Conditioners: Primary foaming and thickening agent, providing rich lather and smooth feel.

    • Body Washes & Facial Cleansers: Frequently used in baby shampoos and products for sensitive skin due to its mildness.

    • Liquid Soaps: Enhances foam and viscosity.

  2. Household Cleaners:

    • Used in dishwashing liquids and hard surface cleaners to enhance detergency and foam stability.

  3. Other Industrial Applications:

    • Used as an emulsifier, antistatic agent, leveling agent for dyes, etc.

Safety Precautions

Irritation:

  • It has very low toxicity and is minimally irritating to human skin and eyes, considered a mild surfactant.

  • However, impurities in some products (e.g., amidoamine) or trace by-products formed during storage may pose a sensitization risk to a very small subset of the population.

Handling:

  • Wear protective gloves and safety goggles during handling. Avoid prolonged direct contact with skin.

  • In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.

Storage:

  • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.

  • Keep container tightly closed.

Environmental Safety:

Readily biodegradable and relatively environmentally friendly.
