Cocamidopropylamine Oxide

Cocamidopropylamine Oxide (CAS 68155-09-9) is a coconut-derived amphoteric surfactant used primarily as a foam booster and viscosity modifier in rinse-off and leave-on formulations.

Where is Cocamidopropylamine Oxide used?

• Shampoos, body washes and liquid hand soaps: boosts and stabilizes foam
• Household and industrial cleaners: enhances detergency
• Alkaline cleaning concentrates: maintains stable foam profiles
• Hard surface and industrial degreasers: supports emulsification of oils and soils
• Coatings and adhesives: dispersing and wetting aid for substrate coverage and emulsion stability
• It performs as a co-surfactant in mildly acidic and alkaline systems.

Commercial specifications

• Aqueous solution, typically 30% active content
• Bulk supply in intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) and drums
• Cosmetic-grade material meets industry purity benchmarks
