Product Application Of Alkyl Polyglycoside CAS#68515-73-1
Alkyl polyglycoside (APG 0810, CAS#68515-73-1, Octyldecyl Glucoside) belongs to natural nonionic surfactants. It functions efficiently as foaming agent, detergent, hair & skin conditioner as well as emulsifier in diversified formulations.
This product can serve as primary base surfactant or auxiliary co-surfactant in various cleaning formulations. It features outstanding foaming performance together with mild property and excellent skin compatibility, bringing gentle care to human skin. When compounded with other alkyl polyglycoside varieties, it can significantly boost foam volume and optimize skin conditioning effects.
Besides, it is highly compatible with ionic surfactants. When incorporated into ionic formula systems, it effectively improves foam stability, enhances foam richness and strengthens overall emulsifying capacity.
Widely applied in personal care products including mild shampoos, shower gels, body washes, facial cleansers. It is also suitable for household detergents, industrial cleaners and other cleaning systems that demand low irritation and stable foaming performance.
