Product Description

Alkyl polyglucosides (APG) are produced by reacting glucose (from starch) with natural fatty alcohols (from coconut or palm kernel oil). The result is a mild, non-ionic surfactant with excellent skin compatibility and complete biodegradability. APG act synergistically with other surfactants and improve foam quality and mildness of formulations.

APG 0810 (C8-⁠C10 chain length) is characterised by particularly good foam formation and solubility. It is pH-stable over a wide range (3–⁠11), compatible with anionic, cationic and other non-ionic surfactants, and electrolyte-tolerant – ideal for concentrated formulations.

Applications
Shampoos, shower gels and body care
Household cleaners and dishwashing detergents

Industrial cleaners and degreasers
Agrochemicals – wetting agents and adjuvants
