Alkyl polyglucosides series (APG0810)
Example of applications:
APG0810 is a nonionic surfactant which is made from natural raw materials, natural alcohols and glucose derived from plants. Its superior properties include: detergency, wetting, dispersing and surface tension reduction, compatibility, especially foaming property. It also exhibits excellent alkaline and electrolyte resistance and can solubilize other ingredients.
APG0810 is low toxic, low irritating to skin and readily biodegradable. So it can be widely used in personal care products and household detergents: day cream, night cream, body cream & lotion, shampoo and hand cream, etc.
APG0810 is also a good choice for industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaners, especially for hard surface cleaning and processing for its high alkaline stability and hydrotroping ability.
APG0810 can be formulated in bubble water as a foam agent.
Due to the presence of magnesium oxide (max. 100ppm) and the high pH value, turbidity, which has no negative effects on performance, may occur when the product is stored at room temperature. When the pH value is adjusted to neutral, its turbidity disappears.
There may be sedimentation depending on storage time. In this case, the product should be heated and stirred until uniform before use.
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.
Applications:
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 cleaning.
Scouring agents in textile industry with alkaline stability and high temperature resistance.

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).
Packaging and transportation:
50kg, 200kg plastic barrels pack or determined in accordance with customers needs. Transacting transportation.
