What is Cocamidopropyl Betaine Powder CAS 61789-40-0?

Cocamidopropyl Betaine Powder CAS 61789-40-0 is a coconut-derived amphoteric surfactant supplied as a high-active solid. Its INCI name is Cocamidopropyl Betaine, and it is commonly used in concentrated solid cleansing and dry-blend formulations.

How does the powder form differ from liquid Cocamidopropyl Betaine?

The powder form is a spray-dried, high-active solid designed for water-free or low-water systems such as shampoo bars, syndet bars and powdered cleansers. Liquid grades are more commonly supplied at about 30-45% active matter, while the powder is concentrated for easier dosing and dry blending.

Is Cocamidopropyl Betaine compatible with anionic surfactants?

Yes. Cocamidopropyl Betaine is amphoteric and works well with anionic surfactants such as SLES and SLS. This combination improves foam quality, viscosity building and mildness while reducing irritation in personal-care and cleaning products.

What applications are suitable for Cocamidopropyl Betaine Powder CAS 61789-40-0?

It is suitable for solid shampoo bars, facial cleansers, body washes, baby-care products, hand soaps, foaming toilet blocks and high-end household or industrial cleaners. It is especially useful where a mild amphoteric surfactant is needed in a dry or concentrated system.

What key specifications should be checked before ordering?

Check active matter, appearance, pH, moisture, free amidoamine or amine value, sodium chloride and microbial limits. Confirm whether the material is intended for cosmetic, personal-care or industrial cleaning use and request the batch-specific analysis.

How should Cocamidopropyl Betaine Powder be stored and handled?

Store it in tightly closed, moisture-protected containers in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizers. Use dust-control measures and suitable PPE during weighing, transfer and processing.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine Powder CAS 61789-40-0

Cocamidopropyl Betaine Powder (CAS 61789-40-0) is a high-concentration, spray-dried amphoteric surfactant utilizing a fatty acid amide backbone, utilized primarily in concentrated solid cleansing formulations and powdered detergent systems. This anhydrous CAPB solid functions as a mild secondary surfactant and foam booster, providing superior viscosity building and irritation mitigation compared to standard liquid grades in Coco amido propyl betaine based syndet bars. For liquid shampoo and cleanser systems, Decyl Glucoside is a related nonionic surfactant for mild-system selection. As a concentrated Cocamidopropyl dimethyl glycine derivative, it serves as a critical Coconut oil amidopropyl betaine component for anhydrous hygiene products and industrial cleaning powders where liquid water content is restricted. We provide this dry surfactant with competitive factory pricing to support solid dose manufacturing and ensure bulk supply availability for dry blending operations. Our facility accommodates customized specifications for active content (typically ≥95%) and mesh size, while every shipment is fully documented with MSDS, TDS, COA files to meet global regulatory standards.

Applications

1. Personal Care & Cosmetics

Shampoos & 2-in-1 products:
- Used as a secondary surfactant to improve foam richness, stability and conditioning feel.
- Helps reduce irritation caused by primary anionic surfactants.
Body wash, shower gel & liquid soap:
- Provides mild but effective cleansing with creamy lather.
- Improves skin feel after rinsing, suitable for daily-use products.
Facial cleansers & micellar products:
- Gentle cleansing for sensitive skin formulas.
- Good compatibility with commonly used skincare actives.
Baby shampoos & bath products:
- Low irritation and mild sensory profile make it suitable for baby and family products when properly formulated and tested.

2. Home Care & Institutional Cleaning

Dishwashing liquids & foam cleaners:
- Enhances foam height and stability, especially in hand dishwashing liquids.
- Good performance in hard water and oily soil removal.
Household surface & bathroom cleaners:
- Provides wetting and detergency for ceramic tiles, sanitary ware, and general surfaces.
Car care & foam wash products:
- Used in high-foam car shampoos and foam lance formulations for thick, stable foam.

3. Industrial & Specialty Uses

Industrial detergents and degreasers:
- Combines high foaming and mildness for manual cleaning operations.
Textile and leather auxiliaries:
- Serves as a wetting and detergent component in some pre-treatment baths.
Agricultural & other formulations:
- Can act as a adjuvant / wetting agent in certain formulations (subject to regulatory requirements).

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouse.
Keep packaging tightly closed to avoid moisture absorption and caking.
Protect from direct sunlight, heat sources and strong oxidizing agents.
Recommended storage temperature: 5–30°C.
Under proper storage conditions, the typical shelf life is 12–24 months from production date.
Always rotate stock on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis to ensure best performance.

Safety Precautions

Although Cocamidopropyl Betaine is considered a mild surfactant, the powder and its solutions should be handled with standard chemical safety practices:

Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged contact with skin. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Avoid inhaling dust; use local exhaust ventilation and/or dust masks if dust may be generated.
Wear suitable protective gloves, goggles and work clothing when handling bulk product.
Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling the material; wash hands thoroughly after work.
In case of accidental spill, sweep up carefully (avoid raising dust), collect into suitable containers and rinse the area with water.
Keep out of reach of children and untrained personnel.
