Description

Butyl Glucoside is a non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable glucose and butanol. This compound matters for formulators seeking a mild, biodegradable, and effective surfactant with excellent wetting and emulsifying properties. It is needed by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors for creating high-performance, eco-friendly formulations.

Application

• Primary surfactant or co-surfactant in mild personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Emulsifier and dispersing agent in agricultural formulations, including pesticides and herbicides.
• Wetting and cleaning agent in industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaners and degreasers.
• Foam booster and stabilizer in various cosmetic and detergent systems.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of more complex sugar-based surfactants and specialty chemicals.
• Component in hard surface cleaners and dishwashing liquids for enhanced grease removal.
