Description

n-Amyl B-D-Glucopyranoside is a high-purity, non-ionic alkyl glycoside surfactant derived from renewable carbohydrate sources. This compound is valued for its excellent biodegradability, mildness, and ability to form stable foams and emulsions in aqueous systems. It serves as a critical ingredient for formulators in the cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries seeking effective, eco-friendly surfactants.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Used as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and other foaming products for its mildness and skin compatibility.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Employed in drug delivery systems, including micellar solubilization and as a permeation enhancer in topical formulations.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a non-denaturing detergent for the solubilization and stabilization of membrane proteins in biochemical assays and purification processes.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting, spreading, or emulsifying agent in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve efficacy.
• Industrial & Household Cleaners: An effective component in green cleaning products due to its superior surface activity and environmental profile.
