Description

Decyl Glucoside is a high-performance, non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable plant-based glucose and fatty alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, wetting, and cleansing properties combined with exceptional mildness and biodegradability. It is a critical ingredient for formulators seeking effective, sustainable, and skin-friendly solutions across the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors.

Application

• Personal Care Products: A primary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products due to its mildness.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Used in dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface cleaners for its strong degreasing and foaming power.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Serves as an emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and makeup removers.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting agent, spreader, or penetrant in pesticide and fertilizer formulations.
• Industrial & Technical Cleaners: Employed in formulations for industrial parts washing, food processing equipment cleaners, and vehicle wash systems.
• Green Chemistry Formulations: A key component in certified eco-label and "green" cleaning products, leveraging its natural origin and environmental profile.
