MACKAM® C 37B is a high-purity grade of cocamidopropyl betaine with a refined alkyl distribution. It remains stable and effective over a broad pH range and is compatible with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants. MACKAM® C 37B offers exceptionally low and stable color and minimal residual odor. Compared to MACKAM® 35UL and other standard cocamidopropyl betaine grades, it provides superior flash foam and viscosity-building properties with lauryl sulfates, lauryl ether sulfates, and alpha olefin sulfates in anionic-based systems. MACKAM® C 37B is preserved with sodium benzoate. Please submit a document request or general inquiry form if you’d like to access an SDS in another language.
