Cocamidopropyl betaine

Cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) is a mixture of closely related organic compounds derived from coconut oil and dimethylaminopropylamine.[2] CAPB is available as a viscous pale yellow solution and it is used as a surfactant in personal care products and animal husbandry. The name reflects that the major part of the molecule, the lauric acid group, is derived from coconut oil. Cocamidopropyl betaine to a significant degree has replaced cocamide DEA.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) is a widely used surfactant and amphoteric compound derived from coconut oil and dimethylaminopropylamine. It is commonly used in personal care, household cleaning, and industrial products due to its excellent foaming and cleansing properties, as well as its mildness on the skin.

Chemway is one of the Cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB), manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers in Fujairah, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Kuwait, Muscat, Dubai UAE.
