MACKAMINE® CG is a pure grade of cocamine oxide known for its excellent foam boosting and foam stability. It is compatible with most surfactants and, due to the absence of amide or ester groups, will not hydrolyze in acidic systems. MACKAMINE® CG is also stable in highly alkaline products and in the presence of hypochlorite bleach, featuring a low level of free amine.
