Description

Alkylpolyglycoside (Mit 1-2 Glucoseeinheiten: Alkylrest: C8-C16) CAS NO 104074-19-3 is a high-performance, non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable plant-based sugars and fatty alcohols. This compound matters for formulators seeking effective, biodegradable, and skin-friendly surface-active agents with excellent foaming and wetting properties. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, home care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors, where mildness and environmental compatibility are key purchasing drivers.

Application

• Personal Care Products: A primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products due to its excellent mildness and skin compatibility.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Used in dishwashing liquids, hard surface cleaners, and all-purpose cleaners for its strong detergency and high foam profile.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a superior wetting agent, spreader, and adjuvant in pesticides, herbicides, and foliar fertilizers.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: A key component in formulations for food processing plants, dairies, and breweries where effective cleaning and rapid biodegradability are required.
• Cosmetic & Toiletry Foam Boosters: Enhances and stabilizes foam in sulfate-free or mild surfactant systems.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and dispersant in various processing baths.

Quality Control

Our Alkylpolyglycoside is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous testing for critical parameters including alkyl chain distribution, degree of polymerization (DP), active matter content, pH, and residual alcohol. Certificates of Analysis (COA) confirming compliance with relevant cosmetic (ISO 22716), food contact, and biodegradability standards are available upon request.

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). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product performance.
