MIKEM provides Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB), a versatile amphoteric surfactant designed to enhance foam performance, viscosity, and formulation mildness in personal care and household cleaning products.
From shampoos and body washes to liquid cleansers, our CAPB solutions help manufacturers create effective, stable, and consumer-friendly formulations.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB), also known as CAB, is an amphoteric surfactant widely used in personal care and household cleaning formulations.
It offers good foaming performance, compatibility with various surfactants, and viscosity-building properties in suitable systems. Its amphoteric nature makes it a valuable ingredient in formulations designed for effective yet gentle cleansing.
MIKEM provides CAPB solutions to support manufacturers seeking consistent product quality, reliable performance, and formulation flexibility across diverse applications.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine delivers multiple functional benefits, helping formulators balance cleansing efficiency, foam quality, viscosity, and product feel.
Supports abundant, creamy foam and helps improve lather stability in cleansing formulations.
Helps formulate gentle cleansing systems when combined with appropriately selected surfactants.
Works with suitable anionic surfactants to support viscosity development and texture control.
Compatible with many anionic, nonionic, and cationic ingredients, depending on the formulation.
Helps enhance the perceived softness and conditioning feel of selected personal care products.
Offers biodegradability characteristics suited to the development of modern cleansing products.
ONE INGREDIENT. MULTIPLE CLEANSING SOLUTIONS.
MIKEM Cocamidopropyl Betaine is suitable for a wide range of personal care and household cleaning products, delivering reliable foam performance and formulation flexibility.
Enhances foam quality and supports gentle cleansing and viscosity adjustment in hair care formulations.
Provides rich lather and contributes to a pleasant cleansing experience in liquid body care products.
Supports the development of mild, foam-rich facial cleansing systems with balanced performance.
Improves foaming characteristics and helps deliver a comfortable handwashing experience.
Supports grease removal, wetting, and foam performance in suitable dishwashing liquid formulations.
Offers compatibility and formulation versatility for selected liquid detergents and surface cleaners.
CAPB is often used alongside primary surfactants to help achieve the desired balance of performance, texture, and product feel.
CAPB helps improve foam volume, stability, and texture when incorporated into compatible surfactant systems.
It is especially useful in formulations where consumers expect rich and creamy lather.
In suitable surfactant combinations, CAPB can contribute to viscosity development and help manufacturers achieve desirable product consistency.
The final viscosity depends on the complete formulation and processing conditions.
When properly formulated, CAPB can help reduce the harshness associated with certain primary surfactant systems.
This makes it a practical ingredient for shampoos, body washes, and other rinse-off products.
PACKAGING AND SUPPLY
Choosing the right CAPB partner involves more than obtaining a surfactant. MIKEM supports customers through product selection, application guidance, and dependable supply solutions.
Store CAPB in tightly closed, compatible containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Protect the product from excessive heat, freezing, and contamination. Follow the applicable Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed storage and handling instructions.
Suitable for regular commercial orders, providing reliable containment and convenient handling.
An efficient option for larger-volume orders, simplifying storage and liquid transfer operations.
Bulk delivery options may be arranged for high-volume industrial customers, subject to availability.
WHY CHOOSE MIKEM
Choosing the right CAPB partner involves more than obtaining a surfactant. MIKEM supports customers through product selection, application guidance, and dependable supply solutions.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine is mainly used as a secondary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, liquid hand soaps, and household cleaning products. It helps improve foam quality, viscosity, and formulation mildness.
Yes. CAPB is frequently used in mild cleansing systems because it can help balance the performance of primary surfactants. However, the mildness of a finished product depends on the complete formulation, impurity profile, and testing results.
Yes. CAPB is commonly combined with anionic surfactants such as Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES). These combinations can improve foam characteristics and provide viscosity-building effects in suitable formulations. Final results depend on processing conditions.
CAPB can help increase viscosity in compatible surfactant systems. The thickening response varies according to surfactant concentration, salt content, pH, and other formulation ingredients.
Important considerations include active matter content, pH, color, residual impurities, formulation compatibility, and application requirements. Customers should review the relevant product specifications and technical documentation before commercial use.
The performance of Cocamidopropyl Betaine depends on several factors, including surfactant concentration, pH, electrolyte content, temperature, and compatibility with other ingredients. These factors can influence foam stability, viscosity, and cleansing properties. Proper formulation testing helps manufacturers achieve the desired product performance.
MIKEM supports customers with product selection, technical documentation, and formulation-related guidance. Whether developing shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, or household cleaning products, manufacturers can contact MIKEM to discuss application requirements, product specifications, and sourcing needs.
