MACKAM® 1C is a very mild amphoteric surfactant suitable for personal care and industrial, home, and hygiene applications. With a higher actives/solids ratio than traditional amphoterics, it is highly cost-effective. In personal care products like shampoos, bubble baths, and body cleansers, MACKAM® 1C provides rich foam, low irritation, and is non-defatting. It also enhances viscosity when combined with anionic surfactants. Its stability across a wide pH range (2-13) makes it ideal for industrial uses such as liquid dishwashing and hard surface cleaners.

Storage Conditions
  • Mackam® 1C should be stored in tightly closed containers at temperatures between 15°C and 40°C. Storage below 15°C may cause turbidity which is reversible with gentle warming. If material becomes hazy after exposure to cold gently heat to 35°C and mix before use. Handle between 25°C – 35°C.
  • Mackam® 1C has a shelf life of 730 days
