MACKAM® C 37 HP is a high-purity grade of cocamidopropyl betaine with a stripped alkyl distribution. It is stable over a wide pH range and compatible with anionic, nonionic, and cationic surfactants. This product offers exceptionally low and stable color, along with minimal residual odor. Compared to MACKAM® 35 and other standard grades of cocamidopropyl betaine, MACKAM® C 37 HP provides improved flash foam and viscosity building, particularly with lauryl sulfates, alpha olefin sulfonates, and other anionic-based formulations. It contains no preservatives, as its high pH makes it resistant to microbial growth. Please submit a document request or general inquiry form if you’d like to access an SDS in another language.
