C8-14 Alkyl Polyglycoside

Alkyl Polyglucosides (APG) represents a premier class of non-ionic surfactants synthesized from renewable natural fatty alcohols and glucose. As a flagship ingredient for "green chemistry," APG is distinguished by its exceptional mildness, high biodegradability, and superior compatibility across a wide range of formulations, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based surfactants.

For personal care and sensitive skin applications, its gentle profile is its defining feature. With a pH compatibility that aligns with the skin’s natural weak acidity, APG is a cornerstone ingredient for sensitive skin cleansers and tear-free baby body washes. When blended with amino acid surfactants, it synergistically enhances foam stability and density without stripping away necessary natural oils. In hair care formulations, specifically conditioners, it acts as a conditioning agent that reduces static electricity, making it ideal for repairing and managing damaged or chemically treated hair.

Industrial performance and food safety are areas where APG excels due to its robust resistance to hard water. It is widely used in eco-friendly dishwashing liquids and laundry detergents, often paired with LAS to significantly boost grease removal efficiency while ensuring easy rinsing with no residue. Meeting strict FDA food contact standards, it also serves as an effective emulsifier in the food industry, preventing separation in plant-based beverages and improving the texture of ice creams and other dairy products.

Specialized agricultural and textile uses further demonstrate its versatility. In agriculture, APG functions as a highly effective pesticide adjuvant, improving the adhesion of solutions to plant leaves to reduce runoff and maximize efficacy. In the textile industry, it acts as a gentle scouring agent, removing natural waxes from fabrics to ensure uniform dyeing results without damaging the delicate fiber structure.

Alkaline stability and hydrotropic benefits are key technical advantages for professional formulators. Unlike many surfactants that degrade in harsh conditions, APG exhibits outstanding stability in high-alkaline environments, making it suitable for heavy-duty industrial degreasers and bottle washing solutions. Additionally, it acts as a hydrotrope, helping to solubilize complex ingredients into clear, stable formulations, which simplifies the manufacturing process for high-concentration products.
