Description

Butyl D-Glucoside is a high-purity alkyl glycoside surfactant derived from renewable resources. This compound is valued for its excellent biodegradability, mildness, and effective surface-active properties, making it a preferred choice in formulations requiring environmental and skin compatibility. It serves as a key ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and specialty cleaning industries seeking sustainable and high-performance raw materials.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a primary surfactant or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products for its mildness and foam-boosting properties.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Acts as a biodegradable surfactant in eco-friendly dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface cleaners.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Employed as a solubilizer or emulsifier in topical creams, ointments, and other dermatological preparations.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting agent, spreader, or penetrant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance efficacy.
• Industrial Processes: Serves as a dispersant or stabilizer in emulsion polymerization and other chemical synthesis applications.

Quality Control

Our Butyl D-Glucoside is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, residual solvents, and appearance are provided to guarantee supply reliability and batch-to-batch consistency for your critical formulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may affect quality.
