Description

2-Ethylhexylglucopyranoside is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl polyglucoside (APG) family. This compound is valued for its excellent biodegradability, mildness, and effective surface-active properties derived from renewable sugar and fatty alcohol feedstocks. It serves as a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking sustainable and high-performance surfactant solutions.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its mildness and skin compatibility.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a wetting agent, dispersant, and adjuvant in pesticides and herbicides to enhance efficacy and spray coverage.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Provides effective cleaning and foaming in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and detergent formulations.
• Household Products: A key component in liquid dish soaps, laundry detergents, and all-purpose cleaners for its cleaning power and environmental profile.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed as an excipient or solubilizing agent in certain topical and oral dosage forms.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting and scouring agent in fabric pretreatment and dyeing processes.

Quality Control

Our 2-Ethylhexylglucopyranoside is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by HPLC, residual solvent analysis, and confirmation of identity, to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
