AMPHOSOL® LB-HP

AMPHOSOL® LB-HP is a lauramidopropyl betaine used in a variety of applications for personal care, home care, and institutional and industrial cleaning. This amphoteric surfactant can be used to boost foam and build viscosity in formulations. It is preserved with excess alkalinity, which allows the formulator flexibility when choosing a preservative for their finished formulation.

Storage & Handling

Storage & Handling
  • Normal safety precautions (e.g., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling AMPHOSOL LB-HP. Contact with eyes, nose or prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling AMPHOSOL LB-HP. See SDS for more information.
  • Non-Bulk Storage Recommendations: AMPHOSOL LB-HP should be stored in closed containers and kept in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS) at temperatures between 40°F (4°C) and 110°F (43.3°C). If material is frozen it should be heated gently and stirred to ensure it is homogeneous prior to use.
Workplace Exposure

Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapors and mists. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace safety practices should be used to control these exposures. See SDS for more information.
