Description

2-Decyltetradecyl D-Xylopyranoside is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl glycoside family. This compound is valued for its excellent biodegradability, mildness, and effective surface-active properties derived from renewable sugar and fatty alcohol feedstocks. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries for formulating gentle cleansers, emulsifiers, and stabilizers.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: As a primary surfactant or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products for its mildness and skin compatibility.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an excipient in topical creams, ointments, and micellar drug delivery systems to enhance solubility and stability.
• Household & I&I Cleaning: Incorporated into eco-friendly dishwashing liquids, hard surface cleaners, and industrial detergents for its superior cleaning and foaming properties.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting agent, spreader, or emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve efficacy and coverage.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized as a mild detergent for membrane protein solubilization and purification in life science research.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Decyltetradecyl D-Xylopyranoside is manufactured under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive quality assurance, including identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods and purity assessment by chromatographic techniques. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results for assay, residual solvents, and related substances is supplied with each shipment to ensure compliance with your specifications.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product quality.
