Description

Pentadecyl D-Glucoside is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl polyglycoside (APG) family, derived from renewable plant-based glucose and fatty alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent biodegradability, mildness, and effective surface-active properties, making it a preferred choice for demanding formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking sustainable, high-performance ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and other rinse-off products for its gentle cleansing and rich foaming characteristics.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: An effective ingredient in hard surface cleaners, dishwashing liquids, and institutional cleaning products due to its strong degreasing power and compatibility with other surfactants.
• Cosmetic Emulsions: Serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, enhancing texture and formulation stability.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting agent, spreader, or penetrant in pesticide and fertilizer formulations to improve efficacy and coverage.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed as a wetting agent, scouring aid, or dyeing assistant in various textile and leather manufacturing processes.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile intermediate or building block for the synthesis of more complex sugar-based surfactants and specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

Our Pentadecyl D-Glucoside is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as active content, residual solvents, and appearance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect quality.
