Amphitol dan Camperlan, Mengapa Sering disebut Foam Booster Padahal Tidak Menambah Busa Yang Banyak

Introduction to Ampitol and Campelan

In this section, the speaker introduces the topic of ampitol and campelan, which are commonly used in dishwashing soap. The speaker addresses the question of why dishwashing soap made with these ingredients still has a low amount of foam.

Understanding Ampitol and Campelan

• Ampitol (short for Capb Koko Amido Propyl Betaine) and campelan (CDEA) are chemical compounds derived from coconut or oil.

• Both ampitol and campelan are made from coconut oil, hence they are often referred to as "Foster" (a brand name).

• The only visual difference between ampitol and campelan is their color - campelan is colored while ampitol is clear.

• These ingredients are commonly added to bar or liquid soaps during production to increase foam.

Foam Production in Soap Making

This section explains why ampitol and campelan are added to soap making processes, particularly for bar soaps.

• Soap making involves a reaction between oil (such as palm oil or other oils like olive oil) and caustic soda (NaOH or KOH).

• This reaction produces soap bars that may not naturally produce much foam.

• To enhance foam production, ampitol and campelan are added as "form boosters" during the mixing process.

• These additives help stabilize the foam formation in bar soaps.

Choosing Ampitol and Campelan over SLS

This section discusses why ampitol and campelan are preferred over other foaming agents like SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate).

• SLS is derived from petroleum, which can cause skin irritation.

• Although SLS is commonly used in shower gels, it can be harsh on the skin.

• Ampitol and campelan are derived from coconut oil, making them milder and less likely to cause irritation.

• Therefore, ampitol and campelan are chosen as form boosters in soap production to provide foam without causing skin irritation.

Ampitol and Campelan in Dishwashing Soap

This section explains why ampitol and campelan are added to dishwashing soap.

• Ampitol and campelan are not only used in bar soaps but also in dishwashing liquids.

• In dishwashing soap, these ingredients help stabilize the foam structure and mimic the properties of fats or oils that need to be removed during washing.

• The addition of ampitol and campelan ensures effective cleaning while maintaining a good amount of foam.

Similarities with Mama Lemon Dishwashing Liquid

This section discusses why ampitol and campelan are added to Mama Lemon dishwashing liquid.

• Mama Lemon dishwashing liquid includes capb (ampitol) in its formula, even though other foaming agents like SLS or Labs could provide sufficient foam.

• One reason for this addition is the similarity in chemical structure between capb (ampitol) and the oils or fats that need to be removed during washing.

• The inclusion of capb helps enhance the cleaning power of Mama Lemon by effectively removing grease while providing foam stability.

Conclusion

In this final section, the speaker concludes by summarizing the role of ampitol and campelan as form boosters in soap production.

• Ampitol and campelan are commonly referred to as "form boosters" because they enhance foam production in bar soaps.

• These ingredients are derived from coconut oil and are milder compared to petroleum-based foaming agents like SLS.

• In dishwashing soap, ampitol and campelan help stabilize foam and provide effective cleaning by mimicking the properties of fats or oils.
