MACKAM® LSB 50 is a versatile amphoteric surfactant compatible with anionic, nonionic, amphoteric, and cationic surfactants. It provides higher foam and better foam stability in high electrolyte concentrations compared to MACKAM® 50 SB. When compared to lauramidopropyl betaine, it offers superior flash foam and viscosity building with lauryl sulfates and alpha olefin sulfonates. Derived from high-grade lauric acid, MACKAM® LSB 50 is fully biodegradable and stable across the entire pH range in both hard and soft water. It has excellent lime soap dispersing properties, making it ideal for formulating mild shampoos, high-foaming bath products, and liquid soaps.
