Why Choose Transfar BS-12 Lauryl Betaine?

Defined BS-12 Specification: Transfar BS-12 is supplied with 28.0-30.0% active content, controlled color, pH, sodium chloride and free amine specifications for consistent formulation evaluation.

Mild Alkyl Betaine Performance: Within Transfar's range of betaine surfactants, BS-12 provides low irritation, good hard-water tolerance, antistatic performance and stability across acidic and alkaline conditions. These properties support personal care, detergent, textile and industrial applications.

BS-12 vs Amidopropyl Betaines: BS-12 is a direct alkyl betaine based on a lauryl chain, while lab 35 and cab 35 are amidopropyl betaines. Their hydrophobe structure, active content, salt level and viscosity response differ, so the final grade should be selected through testing in the complete formula.

Application Guidance: The recommended dosage is 1-10%. The final addition level depends on the primary surfactant system, target foam, viscosity, clarity, antistatic performance and application requirements.

Bulk Purchasing Information: Packaging type, net weight, MOQ, sample availability, lead time and container loading are not currently shown on the page and should be confirmed with Transfar for each order. TDS, SDS and batch COA can be requested for technical and quality review.
