Description

Hexyl D-Glucoside is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable glucose and fatty alcohol sources. This compound is valued for its excellent biodegradability, mildness, and effective surface-active properties, making it a preferred choice for demanding formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and detergent industries seeking sustainable, high-performance ingredients.

Application

• As a primary or co-surfactant in mild, sulfate-free shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Formulation of high-foaming, biodegradable household and industrial cleaning products.
• Key ingredient in cosmetic emulsions (creams, lotions) for its emulsifying and stabilizing effects.
• Use in agrochemical formulations as a wetting agent and adjuvant.
• Component in specialty industrial applications requiring green, non-ionic surfactants.
