Description

2-Octyldodecyl D-Xylopyranoside is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable xylose. This compound is valued for its excellent surface activity, biodegradability, and mildness, making it a preferred choice for demanding formulations. It is primarily utilized in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries where gentle yet effective performance is required.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and solubilizer in high-end skin creams, lotions, and sunscreens, offering excellent skin compatibility.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an excipient in topical drug delivery systems to enhance the solubility and penetration of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a mild detergent for membrane protein solubilization and stabilization in biochemical assays without denaturing sensitive proteins.
• Household & I&I Cleaning: Incorporated into specialty cleaning products where a biodegradable and non-irritating surfactant profile is advantageous.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting and spreading agent in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve foliar coverage and efficacy.
