Function of Each Ingredient

1. Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB)

  • Amphoteric surfactant.

  • Supports viscosity development in anionic surfactant systems.

  • Helps improve foam stability.

  • Contributes to detergent formulation compatibility.

2. Cocamide DEA (CDEA)

  • Non-ionic foam booster and viscosity enhancer.

  • Improves product body and foam stability.

  • Particularly effective in selected SLES-based detergent systems.

CDEA use requires review of applicable regulatory restrictions, impurity limits and nitrosamine-related controls. For new consumer formulations, a CDEA-free alternative may be preferable.

3. Lauramine Oxide

  • Amphoteric/non-ionic behaviour depending on pH.

  • Provides foam boosting and viscosity support.

  • Helps improve detergent performance.

4. Propylene Glycol

  • Functions as a coupling solvent.

  • Supports ingredient incorporation.

  • Can improve low-temperature handling in suitable formulations.

5. Sodium Citrate

  • Provides mild buffering.

  • Supports pH stability.

6. Demineralized Water

- Carrier and dilution medium.

Manufacturing Procedure – 100 KG

  1. Charge approximately 20 kg of demineralized water into a clean stainless steel mixing vessel.

  2. Start slow to moderate agitation.

  3. Add sodium citrate and mix until dissolved.

  4. Add propylene glycol and continue mixing.

  5. Slowly add CAPB 30% while avoiding excessive foam generation.

  6. Add lauramine oxide gradually.

  7. Add Cocamide DEA slowly. If necessary, use mild heating according to the raw material supplier's processing instructions.

  8. Add the remaining demineralized water to reach 100 kg total batch weight.

  9. Mix until homogeneous.

  10. Allow entrained air to dissipate.

  11. Test appearance, pH, viscosity, specific gravity and stability.

  12. Filter if appropriate and transfer to clean packaging.

Recommended Processing Temperature: Approximately 25–40°C.

Avoid unnecessary high shear and prolonged heating.
