Description

Lauryl Polyglucose CAS NO 167817-58-5 is a non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable resources, combining the hydrophobic properties of lauryl alcohol with the hydrophilic nature of glucose polymers. This unique structure provides excellent emulsifying, foaming, and mild cleansing properties, making it a valuable ingredient for formulators seeking biodegradable and skin-friendly alternatives. It is primarily used in the personal care, cosmetic, and household cleaning industries for its gentle yet effective performance.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary or secondary surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products due to its mildness and good foaming characteristics.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Used in formulations for dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface cleaners where biodegradability and low irritation are key requirements.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as an emulsifier or solubilizing agent in topical creams, ointments, and medicated washes.
• Agrochemicals: Functions as a wetting agent, dispersant, or adjuvant in pesticide and fertilizer formulations to improve spreading and efficacy.
• Industrial Processes: Employed as a processing aid, emulsifier, or dispersant in textile, leather, and paper manufacturing.

Quality Control

Our Lauryl Polyglucose is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets consistent specifications for critical parameters such as active matter content, pH, and residual alcohol. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing the results against agreed specifications. Our production can adhere to relevant cosmetic (ISO 22716) and general quality (ISO 9001) standards to meet your specific requirements.

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); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
