Alkyl polyglucosides(APG) used in the fields of detergents,cosmetics,foods medicine,classified as nonionic surfactant
Introduction and Properties: 1. Nonionic surfactant made from natural fatty alcohols and glucose derived from renewable plants. 2. Superior detergency, wetting and surface active ability. 3. High solubility in concentrated alkaline solutions and other electrolytes and will solubilize other less soluble ingredients. 4. Good compatibility with all other types of surfactants and synergistic effects can be found. It can improve the mildness of formulations significantly. 5. Produces a rich and stable foam. 6. Non-toxic, non-irritating to skin, readily biodegradable. APG is widely used in the following application areas:Personal care products and household detergents: shampoo, body-cleaner, cream rinses, hand sanitizer, dishwashing, etc.Hard surface cleaningScouring agents in textile industry with alkaline stability and high temperature resistance Specification:
| Name | APG0810 | APG0814 | APG1214 |
| Appearance(25°C) | Light yellow transparent liquid | Light yellow transparent liquid | Light yellow liquid/paste |
| Actives (wt%) | ≥50.0 | ≥50.0 | ≥50.0 |
| pH(10%aq solution) | 11.5-12.5 | 11.5-12.5 | 11.5-12.5 |
| Free Alcohol (wt%) | ≤1.0 | ≤1.0 | ≤1.0 |
| Ash (wt%) | ≤3.0 | ≤3.0 | ≤3.0 |
Notice:When APG products were stored at room temperature, there would be crystalline precipitate or turbidity due to the presence of alkyl mono-glucoside and MgO or at high pHs, which had no negative impacts on the properties. When neutralized to pH 7, the turbidity would vanish. APG1214 should be heated to 45°C-50°C and mixing uniform before use. APG0810 can be prepared according to customers needs (actives 70±2%, pH: 7-10.0).
