Home, Industrial & Institutional Cleaning
Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a mild, amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil, widely used in the Home, Industrial, and Institutional Cleaning (HI&I) industry. It functions as a foaming agent, detergent, and viscosity enhancer, making it ideal for formulating household cleaners, industrial degreasers, and institutional disinfectants. Cocamidopropyl Betaine is valued for its gentle cleansing properties, biodegradability, and compatibility with anionic, nonionic, and cationic surfactants. It is commonly found in surface cleaners, hand soaps, dishwashing liquids, and laundry detergents, where it boosts foam stability and enhances dirt removal while being mild on skin and surfaces.
Oil and Gas
Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a surfactant derived from coconut oil, commonly used as a foaming and emulsifying agent. In the oil and gas industry, it is primarily utilized in drilling, fracturing, and enhanced oil recovery applications. Cocamidopropyl Betaine helps reduce surface tension, improve wettability, and enhance the effectiveness of foam-based drilling fluids and acidizing treatments. It is also used in cleaning formulations for pipelines and equipment due to its efficient detergency and biodegradability.
