Lansurf CAPO

Lansurf CAPO is a salt‑free amine oxide surfactant based on cocoamidopropyl amine oxide, offering excellent stability over a wide pH range. It is fully compatible with anionic surfactant systems and is widely used as an effective secondary surfactant.

​

Lansurf CAPO provides foam boosting, viscosity building, and foam stabilisation properties, making it particularly suitable for detergent and cleaning formulations. In addition, it functions as an efficient wetting agent, including in concentrated electrolyte solutions.

 

Due to its easy thermal degradation, Lansurf CAPO is especially useful as a non‑rewetting agent in textile applications. The product is readily biodegradable and is not expected to persist indefinitely in the environment.

Key Features

​

• Foam boosting and viscosity building - Enhances foam volume, foam stability, and viscosity when used in anionic surfactant systems, making it ideal as a secondary surfactant in cleaning formulations.

• Wide pH stability and formulation compatibility - A salt‑free amine oxide that remains stable across a wide pH range and is fully compatible with anionic formulations, including acidic and alkaline cleaners.

• Versatile performance with good environmental profile - Acts as an effective wetting agent (even in concentrated electrolyte solutions), functions as a non‑rewetting agent in textiles, and is readily biodegradable.

Applications

​

Household & Industrial Cleaning
- Used as a secondary surfactant in liquid dishwash and hard‑surface cleaning formulations.
- Provides foam boosting, foam stability, and viscosity enhancement in anionic detergent systems.
- Suitable for general purpose, acidic, and alkaline cleaners where formulation robustness across a wide pH range is required.

​

Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners
- Applied in industrial and institutional cleaning products to improve detergency performance.
- Enhances foam control and wetting while contributing to formulation stability in demanding cleaning environments.

​

Acidic & Alkaline Cleaning Systems
- Stable over a wide pH range, making it suitable for both acidic and alkaline formulations.
- Maintains performance in formulations containing electrolytes and other functional additives.

​

Textile Processing
- Used as a non‑rewetting agent due to its easy thermal degradation.
- Functions as a wetting and auxiliary agent in textile processing and finishing applications.

​

Formulations with High Electrolyte Content
- Acts as an effective wetting agent, even in concentrated electrolyte solutions, where many surfactants lose efficiency.
