Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Cocamidopropyl Betaine is an amphoteric surfactant used in a wide range of commercial and industrial cleaning products. It provides excellent flash foam, enhances foam stability, and improves viscosity in formulations containing anionic surfactants like SLS and SLES. It remains effective in hard water and is compatible with a broad range of other surfactant types.
