MACKAM® CAB 818 A is a light coloured, yet economic grade of Cocamidopropyl Betaine. It is based on a fully hydrogenated fatty source, has no unsaturation and its colour and odour are minimized. MACKAM® CAB 818 A provides excellent viscosity building and foam boosting to anionic based cleansers. In shampoo formulations it contributes to hair ‘manageability’. MACKAM® CAB 818 A is stable and efficacious over a broad pH range and is compatible with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants. It contributes to mildness and is readily biodegradable. A cost effective betaine that does not contain any preservative. Please submit a document request or general inquiry form if you’d like to access an SDS in another language.
