    Features
    • Lansurf CAPO is a salt-free amine oxide surfactant that is stable over a wide pH range. It is suitable for anionic based formulations as it can provide foam boosting, viscosity building and foam stability properties.
    • Lansurf CAPO can also be used as wetting agent especially in concentrated electrolyte solutions. Due to it’s easy thermal degradation this product is useful as a non-rewetting agent for textiles. This product is also found to be readily biodegradable and would not expect to persist indefinitely in the environment.
