Personal care: Shampoo, shower gel, body wash and facial cleanser.
Home care: Laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid and household detergent.
Functional uses: Detergent, thickening aid, antistatic agent and fungicide; it can also be used as a flotation agent in petroleum applications.
Recommended Dosage:
In shower gel and shampoo is 2-12%.
In cosmetics is 1-2%.
Higher-Active CAB-45 Grade: CAB-45 contains 37.0-40.0% active matter, providing a more concentrated liquid option for formulators and bulk buyers.
Mildness and Compatibility: Within Transfar's range of betaine surfactants, CAB-45 combines low irritation with good solubility and compatibility in anionic surfactant systems. It can support foam stabilization, viscosity development and a milder cleansing profile.
CAB-45 vs CAB-35: CAB-45 has a higher active content than the lower-active CAB-35 liquid grade. Choose CAB-45 when a more concentrated liquid surfactant is preferred; choose CAB-35 when a lower-active grade better fits the formulation, dosing and handling process.
Application Guidance: Recommended dosage is 2-12% in shampoo and shower gel and 1-2% in cosmetics. Final dosage should be confirmed through formulation testing based on the primary surfactant system, target viscosity, foam and mildness.
Bulk Purchasing Support: TDS, SDS and batch COA can be requested for specification review. Packaging configuration, MOQ, sample availability, lead time and container loading should be confirmed with Transfar before ordering. For a lauramidopropyl betaine alternative, compare lab 35.
CTA: Send your target application, required active content, annual demand, destination market and packaging preference to receive a CAB-45 quotation and technical document package.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine CAB-45 is used as a mild amphoteric surfactant, foam booster and viscosity aid in shampoo, shower gel, body wash, facial cleanser, laundry detergent and household cleaning formulations. It may also be used as an antistatic agent, fungicide and petroleum flotation agent. Transfar recommends 2-12% in shampoo and shower gel and 1-2% in cosmetics, subject to formulation testing.
The main difference is active content. Transfar CAB-45 contains 37.0-40.0% active matter, while cab 35 cocamidopropyl betaine contains 28.0-32.0%. CAB-45 is suitable when a more concentrated liquid grade is preferred, while CAB-35 may be selected when a lower-active grade better matches the dosing, viscosity or handling requirements of the formulation. Both grades should be evaluated in the complete surfactant system.
The Cocamidopropyl Betaine price depends on the selected grade and active content, order quantity, packaging configuration, required documentation, destination market and freight conditions. To receive an accurate CAB-45 quotation, provide the target application, required quantity, delivery country, packaging preference and whether a sample, TDS, SDS or batch COA is needed.
