MACKAM® OAB

MACKAM® OAB is a 30% active aqueous solution of caprylamidopropyl betaine. It functions as an effective hydrotrope, helping to couple nonionic surfactants into systems containing moderate levels of electrolytes. MACKAM® OAB is a low foaming surfactant that provides good detergency in systems requiring high cloud points.
