Description

Alkyl-(C6-C12)-D-Glucopyranose, Oligomeric is a non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable carbohydrate and fatty alcohol feedstocks, belonging to the class of alkyl polyglucosides (APGs). This compound is valued for its excellent biodegradability, low toxicity, and outstanding surface-active properties, making it a key ingredient in high-performance, eco-friendly formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, home care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective, sustainable alternatives to traditional ethoxylated surfactants.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for gentle yet effective cleansing and rich foam generation.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Used in hard surface cleaners, dishwashing liquids, and all-purpose cleaners for superior degreasing and compatibility with other ingredients.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting agent, spreader, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance foliar coverage and efficacy.
• Industrial & Technical Cleaners: Employed in metal cleaning, textile processing, and dairy sanitation due to its high stability in alkaline and electrolyte-rich environments.
• Cosmetic & Toiletry Products: Serves as an emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and other leave-on products, offering mildness to the skin.
• Green Chemistry & Bio-based Products: A cornerstone ingredient for formulators developing products with a strong environmental profile and compliance with ecolabels.
