Cocamidopropyl betaine is a kind of surface activator, more common in the usual soap, soap powder, laundry detergent and other household products, cocamidopropyl betaine is partial alkali and relatively stable properties, used in detergents, can have anti-bacteria, anti-static effect. Because of his soft foam properties are often used in lotions, such as facial cleansers shampoo, etc.. Next, let’s understand its actual role and characteristics
This product is an amphoteric ionic surface activator, which has high quality reliability under the standard of acidity and alkalinity and partial alkalinity, and each shows cationic and cationic properties, and is often used with anionic, positive ionic and non-positive ionic surface activators, and its matching characteristics are excellent. It is less irritating, soluble in strong electrolytes, smooth to strong acids and alkalis, foamy, and strong in decontamination, with high quality thickening, flexibility, anti-bacterial, anti-static, and anti-hard water solubility. Can obviously enhance the cleaning product sheepishness, conditioning and ultra-low temperature reliability

Characteristics and application
This product is a kind of two kinds of surface activator, with excellent cleaning, foaming, conditioning effect, and good solubility with cationic, positive ion and non-positive ion surface activator.
It is suitable for pet shampoos, baths, cleansers, etc., and can improve the softness of hair and skin.
This product has a significant thickening practical effect when paired with appropriate cationic surface activator, and can also be used as a conditioning agent, wetting agent, pesticide fungicide, antistatic agent, etc. Because this product has excellent bubbling actual effect, it is commonly used in oil and gas field extraction, and the key effect is to be used as a descending binder, oil repellent and foam agent, and flexibly use its surface activity to infiltrate, penetrate and detach the oil in the oil-bearing sand slurry to enhance the degree of triple recovery.
Product characteristics.
