Description

n-Undecyl β-D-Glucopyranoside is a high-purity, non-ionic alkyl glycoside surfactant derived from renewable carbohydrate and fatty alcohol feedstocks. This compound is valued for its excellent biodegradability, mildness, and ability to form stable, low-foaming solutions, making it a preferred choice over traditional ethoxylates. It serves as a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries seeking effective, environmentally friendly, and skin-compatible surfactants.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and other rinse-off products for its excellent cleansing and mildness properties.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Employed as a solubilizing agent, permeation enhancer, or stabilizer in topical creams, gels, and transdermal delivery systems.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting agent, spreader, or penetrant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve foliar coverage and efficacy.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized as a mild, non-denaturing detergent for the solubilization and purification of membrane proteins in laboratory settings.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaning: Applied in formulations for hard surface cleaners and degreasers where high biodegradability and low aquatic toxicity are required.
• Food Contact Surface Cleaners: Suitable for cleaning agents used in food processing environments due to its favorable safety and environmental profile.

Quality Control

Our n-Undecyl β-D-Glucopyranoside is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity standards, with key parameters including assay, residual alcohol content, and appearance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing all test results. We can support compliance requirements for various applications, including those following ISO and GMP guidelines.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect quality.
