Applications

Personal Care Products

  • Shampoos and Conditioners: Incorporated at 5-15% as a co-surfactant to enhance mildness and foam in sulfate-free systems, ideal for color-treated or dry hair.
  • Body Washes and Facial Cleansers: 3-10% for gentle lathering and skin conditioning, reducing dryness in daily use.
  • Baby and Sensitive Skin Items: Primary surfactant at 10-20% for wipes, washes, and lotions, providing non-irritating cleanse.

Household and Industrial Cleaning

  • Hand Soaps and Dish Liquids: 4-8% to stabilize foam and improve wetting on grease, compatible with hard water.
  • Institutional Cleaners: 2-5% in floor and surface cleaners for effective soil removal without residue.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate (DSCADA)?

Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate (DSCADA) is a coconut-derived amphoteric surfactant with CAS 68650-39-5, used for mild foaming and cleansing. It’s a viscous liquid that excels in sensitive skin products for its low irritation and high compatibility.

How is DSCADA used in shampoo formulations?

Add 5-12% during the surfactant blend phase; it boosts creaminess and stabilizes lather in blends with sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, enhancing scalp gentleness.

Is DSCADA safe for baby products?

Yes, it’s ophthalmologically tested with zero eye irritation at 10%, and biodegradable, making it perfect for infant shampoos and wipes under pediatric guidelines.

What is the shelf life of DSCADA?

In sealed, cool storage (<30°C), it maintains stability for 24-36 months, with no microbial growth risk due to inherent preservative qualities.

Can DSCADA be combined with anionic surfactants?

DSCADA synergizes with sulfates at 1:3 ratios for denser foam but reduces irritation by 50%; it’s stable in pH 5-9 without separation.

Does DSCADA perform in hard water?

Absolutely—its amphoteric nature prevents precipitation, delivering consistent foam and rinseability in waters up to 300 ppm hardness.

What packaging options are available for DSCADA?

We provide 200kg plastic drums, 1000kg totes, and 20MT bulk tanks, all HDPE-lined for viscosity preservation and UN-compliant shipping.
