Frequently Asked Questions
What is sodium cocoamphopropionate used for?
Sodium cocoamphopropionate (SCA, CAS 68604-71-7) is an amphoteric, coconut-derived surfactant supplied as an aqueous concentrate. It is used as a secondary surfactant and co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, hand soaps, and household cleaning formulations, blended with primary anionic surfactants.
Is sodium cocoamphopropionate the same as cocamidopropyl betaine?
No. Both are amphoteric co-surfactants, but they are chemically distinct: sodium cocoamphopropionate (CAS 68604-71-7) is an imidazoline-derived amphopropionate, while cocamidopropyl betaine is an amidopropyl betaine. They have different INCI names and CAS numbers.
What is sodium cocoamphopropionate derived from?
It is derived from coconut fatty acids and supplied as an aqueous amphoteric surfactant concentrate. Request the CoA for active content and specification.
What HS code applies to sodium cocoamphopropionate?
It is classified under HS 3402.49 (other organic surface-active agents). Confirm the destination-country tariff line and request the CoA and SDS with your order.
How is bulk sodium cocoamphopropionate packaged?
As an aqueous concentrate, it is typically supplied in drums or totes to personal-care and household-cleaning manufacturers. Request a bulk quote with your target volume and the active-content spec you require.
