Description

2-Dodecylhexadecyl D-Xylopyranoside is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl glycoside family, derived from xylose. This compound is valued for its excellent surface-active properties, biodegradability, and mildness, making it a preferred choice in formulations requiring high performance with environmental and safety considerations. It is primarily utilized by R&D scientists and formulators in the personal care, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for developing advanced emulsions, cleansers, and conditioning products.

Application

• As a primary or co-surfactant in mild facial cleansers, shower gels, and shampoo formulations.
• Key ingredient for stabilizing oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions in cosmetic creams and lotions.
• Used in the development of specialty industrial detergents and wetting agents with enhanced biodegradability profiles.
• As a solubilizing agent for fragrances and active ingredients in aqueous systems.
• Potential component in biomedical research for membrane protein studies and as a biochemical tool.
• Applicable in agricultural adjuvant formulations to improve the spreading and absorption of pesticides.
