Amidex™ C-CM surfactant is a concentrated and self-preserving liquid version of Cocamide MEA. It combines the foam-boosting and foam stabilizing properties of betaine in a single, easy-to-handle blend. This surfactant offers excellent viscosity-building properties when used with anionics and is particularly well-suited for bath and shower products where stable foam, good wetting, and gentle cleansing are desired. The ratio of amides to betaines is approximately 1:4 on a % solids basis.
