Disodium cocoamphodipropionate

Disodium cocoamphodipropionate (CAS 68604-71-7), also marketed as cocoamphodiacetate in some commercial contexts, is an amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids. It functions as a mild cleanser, foam booster, and conditioning agent across personal care and industrial cleaning formulations. In shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, it reduces irritation.

It mitigates the potential of harsher anionic surfactants while maintaining lather quality, which is a key formulation advantage for sensitive-skin product lines and high-end cosmetic applications. Industrial and household hard-surface cleaners use it for its degreasing performance combined with compatibility across a wide pH range. In textile processing, it aids fiber wetting and emulsification.

It is used for oils and finishes during scouring and dyeing operations. Leather and paper processing applications leverage its dispersing properties to improve uniformity of treatment baths and coating adhesion. Disodium cocoamphodipropionate is supplied as an aqueous solution, typically at active concentrations around 40–50%. It is available in technical and cosmetic grades for various manufacturing needs.

Cosmetic-grade material meets specifications relevant to personal care manufacturing. Drum and IBC packaging are standard for industrial supply volumes to ensure safe and efficient transport.
