UNISURF CA 45 (COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE 45%)
General Overview
UNISURF CA 45 is a high-active, coconut-derived amphoteric surfactant containing approximately 45% active Cocamidopropyl Betaine. It is widely used in personal care and household cleaning formulations for its excellent foam-boosting, viscosity-building, and skin-compatible cleansing properties. It is particularly effective when used in combination with anionic surfactants to reduce irritation and enhance mildness.
