Frequently Asked Questions

What is oleyl betaine?

Oleyl betaine (CAS 4292-10-8; C19H38N2O3) is an amphoteric betaine surfactant. It is used as a secondary surfactant and foam booster, a viscosity builder, and a source of antistatic/conditioning function in cleansing formulations.

What is oleyl betaine used for?

It raises and stabilizes foam in cleansing systems, thickens liquid formulations, provides antistatic/conditioning effect, and is typically paired with anionic primary surfactants as a co-surfactant.

What are the two types of betaine?

Betaines are commonly split into alkyl betaines (made from an alkyldimethylamine) and amidopropyl betaines (made from a fatty amidoamine). Oleyl betaine is an alkyl betaine type, an amphoteric surfactant under CAS 4292-10-8.

What is the HS code for oleyl betaine?

Oleyl betaine is classified under HS heading 3402.49 (organic surface-active agents). Confirm the destination tariff subheading with your broker.
