Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG)

Formula: C6H11O5-O-(CH2)7-9-CH3 GOST/CAS: CAS 68515-73-1

Alkyl Polyglucoside (a highly effective non-ionic surfactant) is an innovative, eco-friendly component manufactured from renewable plant-based raw materials (fatty alcohols from coconut/palm oil and glucose). The product exhibits outstanding wetting, foaming, and cleaning properties while being exceptionally mild to the skin. Due to its excellent stability in alkaline environments and high biodegradability, alkyl polyglucoside is an indispensable ingredient in household detergents, cosmetics, industrial cleaners, as well as the textile and oil industries.

Applications

Household Detergents: Acts as a primary or co-surfactant in formulations for liquid detergents, dishwashing liquids, laundry gels, and hard surface cleaners. It enhances viscosity and boosts overall cleaning performance.

Cosmetics & Personal Care: Widely used in shampoos, shower gels, baby care products, and liquid soaps. It effectively reduces the irritation potential of other surfactants while providing a rich, stable foam.

Industrial & Institutional Cleaning: Perfect for highly alkaline and heavy-duty concentrated cleaners used in industrial equipment, car washes, and metal degreasing, thanks to its exceptional stability in the presence of electrolytes.

Agrochemicals & Other Industries: Functions as an adjuvant and wetting agent in pesticide and fertilizer formulations to improve spreading and absorption, and is also applied in the textile wetting process.

Key Advantages

Excellent Detergency & Foaming: Effectively removes stubborn grease and oil soils, generating a dense, stable, and rich foam even in hard water conditions.

Synergistic Performance: Blends seamlessly with all classes of surfactants (anionic, non-ionic, amphoteric), improving the overall mildness and efficiency of the formulation.

High Stability in Extreme Media: Retains its properties, solubility, and performance in highly alkaline solutions, as well as in systems with high salt or acid concentrations.

100% Eco-Friendly & Safe: Fully biodegradable product derived from natural sources. It is non-toxic, non-irritating to skin and mucous membranes, and completely safe for the environment.

Storage & Transportation

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse in tightly sealed original packaging, away from heat sources.
Recommended storage temperature: +10°C to +40°C. If exposed to low temperatures, the product may crystallize or become highly viscous; this can be reversed by gentle heating and stirring without affecting product quality.
Protect from direct sunlight and moisture exposure.
Transportable by all modes of covered transport while maintaining the required temperature conditions. The material is classified as non-hazardous for transport. Shelf life is 1 year from the date of manufacture.
