Description

n-Dodecyl A-D-Glucopyranoside 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, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries seeking sustainable and high-performance surfactants.

Application

• Biochemical Research: As a mild, non-denaturing detergent for solubilizing membrane proteins and lipids in cell lysis and purification protocols.
• Personal Care Formulations: Used in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers as a primary or co-surfactant for gentle foaming and cleansing.
• Pharmaceutical Delivery Systems: Employed in the development of micellar drug delivery systems and as an excipient to enhance solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting agent, spreader, or penetrant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve efficacy.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaning: An effective component in eco-friendly industrial cleaners and detergents requiring high biodegradability.
