Description

1-Oxododecyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside is a specialized carbohydrate-based surfactant and chemical intermediate. This compound is valued for its unique amphiphilic structure, which combines a hydrophilic sugar head with a hydrophobic fatty acid-derived tail, enabling its function as a mild, biodegradable surfactant. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of high-performance personal care products, advanced pharmaceutical delivery systems, and specialized biochemical research reagents.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a mild, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier in high-end skincare formulations, shampoos, and body washes, offering excellent skin compatibility and foam properties.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Serves as a solubilizing agent and permeation enhancer in topical and transdermal drug delivery systems.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a detergent for membrane protein solubilization and stabilization in laboratory research.
• Specialty Detergents: A key ingredient in formulating gentle, biodegradable cleaning products for sensitive applications.
• Food-Grade Emulsification: Potential use as a food additive emulsifier, subject to specific regulatory compliance and purity grades.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spreading and adherence on plant surfaces.

Quality Control

Our 1-Oxododecyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request. We can supply material compliant with various standards, including pharmaceutical (GMP) and cosmetic-grade requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
