Description

n-Dodecyl-β-D-Glucopyranosid is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl polyglycoside (APG) family, derived from renewable resources. This compound is valued for its excellent biodegradability, low toxicity, and superior surface-active properties, making it a key ingredient in formulations requiring mildness and environmental compatibility. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, detergent, and agrochemical industries seeking effective, sustainable alternatives to traditional ethoxylated surfactants.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: As a primary surfactant or co-surfactant in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care products for its mildness and skin-friendly profile.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: In dishwashing liquids, hard surface cleaners, and laundry detergents for effective grease removal and foam stabilization.
• Agrochemical Formulations: As an adjuvant, wetting agent, or emulsifier in pesticides and herbicides to enhance spreading and leaf adhesion.
• Biochemical Research: Used in membrane protein studies and chromatography as a mild, non-denaturing detergent for solubilizing biological membranes.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: As an excipient in topical formulations and drug delivery systems for its solubilizing and stabilizing properties.
• Industrial Processes: In emulsion polymerization, textile processing, and as a dispersing agent in various specialty chemical applications.
