Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) 30%/45% Detergent Surfactant Candidate — CAS and Specification Verification Required

Public sourcing candidate for overseas buyers seeking CAPB 30% or 45% surfactant from China. The scraped listing contains conflicting identity data, including CAPB in the title but CAS/formula/model references that appear inconsistent with Cocamidopropyl Betaine. Buyer should treat this as a verification-first RFQ and request a current COA, SDS, exact CAS, active matter, sodium chloride, free amine, pH, color, microbial limits if applicable, packing, export classification, and batch traceability before evaluation.

Quick buying facts

Identity and grade

Typical specifications

  • Product identity to confirm: Cocamidopropyl Betaine / CAPB; verify exact CAS commonly associated with CAPB rather than relying on the scraped CAS shown
  • Concentration/active matter: buyer to request 30% and/or 45% grade confirmation by COA
  • Appearance: liquid, color to be confirmed by supplier specification
  • Application grade: detergent grade, personal-care grade, or industrial grade to be clarified
  • Key quality items to request: active matter, sodium chloride content, free amine/amidoamine, pH, color/APHA or Gardner, solids, viscosity, odor, water content, and microbial limits where relevant
  • Impurity points: request limits for free amine/amidoamine, residual chloroacetic acid/chloroacetate, residual solvents if any, heavy metals if personal-care use is intended, and any preservative content
  • CAS/spec discrepancy: listing shows CAS No. 27176-87-0, model No. 68439-57-6, EINECS 233-344-7, and product text referencing potassium laurate; buyer must request corrected product identity documents
  • Origin stated: China
  • Stated delivery time: 7–10 days, subject to stock, export booking, and documentation readiness
  • Stated production capacity: 50,000 tons/year; buyer should verify plant capability and product-specific capacity
Who uses this page

Target buyers

  • Detergent and cleaning product manufacturers

Before matching

Documents to check

  • CAS number, grade, assay, and impurity profile
  • SDS, COA, TDS, HS code, and transport classification
  • Destination-market import documents before supplier matching
Package and route

Packing notes

  • Listed transport package: drum
  • Listed packaging specification: 25 kg and 200 kg drums
  • Request confirmation of net weight, drum material, palletization, container loading quantity, and whether IBC packing is available
  • Ask whether packaging is suitable for export shipment and whether inner seals, tamper evidence, batch labels, and pallet wrapping are included
  • Confirm shelf life, storage temperature statement, and whether product may stratify or require specification checks after long transit
Applications and sourcing options

Check whether this product fits the buyer's actual application.

Clear application, grade, package, and document notes help separate real sourcing demand from a vague price check.

Use context

Common applications

  • Foaming and mild surfactant component in liquid detergent formulations, subject to buyer formulation validation
  • Co-surfactant candidate for shampoo, body wash, hand soap, and cleanser products when cosmetic-grade documentation is verified
  • Foam booster and viscosity-building aid in compatible anionic/amphoteric surfactant systems
  • General cleaning raw material for home-care and institutional cleaning formulations where grade and impurities meet buyer requirements
How we compare

Sourcing options

  • RFQ for CAPB 30% with verified CAS, COA, SDS, and drum packing
  • RFQ for CAPB 45% high-active grade with full impurity profile
  • Request pre-shipment sample and third-party lab verification before bulk purchase
  • Ask supplier to quote FOB China port, CIF destination port, and DDP only where legally available and compliant
  • Compare with alternative China CAPB suppliers using the same active matter and impurity specification
  • Request factory audit or video inspection if product identity and capacity are confirmed
Human review

Compliance notes

  • Do not place order based only on title; request SDS, COA, TDS, label draft, and commercial invoice description using the same chemical identity and CAS
  • Verify HS code, UN number if applicable, DG/non-DG transport status, marine pollutant status, and export documentation before shipment
  • Request statement on applicable inventory listings or compliance support for destination market, such as China inventory, TSCA, REACH, UK REACH, K-REACH, IECSC, PICCS, AICS/AIIC, DSL/NDSL, or other buyer-specific markets; supplier statements should be checked by importer
  • For cosmetic or personal-care applications, request allergen/impurity profile, preservative declaration, animal-origin/BSE-TSE statement if needed, and microbiological specification where applicable
  • For detergent-only use, confirm whether the grade is industrial/detergent grade and not represented as cosmetic grade without supporting documents
  • Supplier claims on marketplace audits or export rights are not a regulatory guarantee; importer remains responsible for destination compliance
  • Confirm whether CAPB is shipped as non-hazardous aqueous surfactant solution or whether any local classification applies based on concentration and formulation
