Cocamidopropylamine Oxide

Formula: C₁₉H₄₂N₂O₃ GOST/CAS: CAS 68155-09-9

Cocamidopropylamine Oxide (a highly effective amphoteric/non-ionic surfactant, amine oxide) is a specialized liquid component acting as a key agent for foam boosting, thickening, and conditioning in various aqueous systems. The product is a clear to light yellowish liquid, excellently soluble in water. Due to its ability to efficiently increase viscosity when combined with anionic surfactants and stabilize foam structure, cocamidopropylamine oxide is indispensable in the production of household cleaning products, cosmetics, car washes, and industrial detergents.

Applications

Household Chemical Production: Used as a primary and co-surfactant in formulations for liquid soaps, shower gels, shampoos, and dishwashing liquids. Provides a rich, creamy lather and a mild effect on the skin.

Car Care and Auto Cosmetics: Applied in the manufacture of touchless and classic car shampoos and active foams. It enhances detergency, foam stability in hard water, and improves surface wetting properties.

Industrial Cleaning & Janitorial: Incorporated into high-alkaline and acidic cleaners, carpet, and textile care formulations for the effective removal of grease and oil stains.

Textile & Auxiliary Industry: Used in fiber preparation and scouring processes, acting as an antistatic agent, wetting agent, and leveling agent in dye baths.

Key Advantages

Excellent Foaming Properties: Rapidly generates abundant, stable, and dense foam even in hard water and in the presence of oily soils.

Stability Across a Wide pH Range: Retains its properties and compatibility in both highly acidic and alkaline environments. It blends perfectly with all surfactant types (anionic, non-ionic, cationic).

Thickening and Conditioning Effect: Effectively reduces the requirement for electrolytes (salt) to achieve the desired viscosity, while simultaneously mitigating the dermal irritation caused by other harsher surfactants.

Eco-Friendly and Safe: The product is readily biodegradable, non-toxic at working concentrations, does not emit harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and is environmentally safe when disposal regulations are followed.
