Description

D-Glucopyranose, Oligomeric, Lauryl Glycosides is a non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable carbohydrate and fatty alcohol sources, specifically a mixture of alkyl polyglycosides (APGs) with a lauryl (C12) alkyl chain. This compound offers a powerful combination of excellent surface activity, high biodegradability, and mildness, making it a preferred choice for environmentally conscious formulations. It is primarily utilized in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors where effective, sustainable, and skin-friendly surfactants are required.

Application

• Personal Care Products: Acts as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products due to its excellent foaming properties and mildness on the skin and eyes.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Used in dishwashing liquids, hard surface cleaners, and all-purpose cleaners for its strong detergency, good wetting, and compatibility with other ingredients.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and other emulsion-based products, enhancing texture and stability.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting agent, spreader, or penetrant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve efficacy and coverage.
• Industrial Processes: Employed as a dispersant, wetting agent, or emulsifier in various industrial applications, including textiles, paints, and coatings.
• Green Chemistry Initiatives: A key ingredient in formulations designed to meet eco-label standards (e.g., EU Ecolabel, USDA BioPreferred) due to its plant-based origin and ready biodegradability.

Quality Control

Our D-Glucopyranose, Oligomeric, Lauryl Glycosides is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for critical parameters such as active matter content, pH, residual alcohol, and fatty matter. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are provided with every shipment. Our production adheres to relevant standards for cosmetic and cleaning ingredient quality.

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); ensure containers are sealed after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong acids and organic solvents.
