MACKAM® 2C is a mild amphoteric surfactant suitable for personal care and industrial applications. In personal care products like shampoos, bubble baths, and body cleansers, it delivers excellent foam stability, even in hard water or varying pH levels. It enhances the feel of hair in baby and adult shampoos, improving both wet and dry combing with minimal need for additional conditioning. MACKAM® 2C is stable across a wide pH range (2-13), making it ideal for industrial uses such as cleaners for food preparation areas, hospitals, and high alkaline hard surface cleaners.
