Chemical Description: Fatty alcohol glycoside, C-chain distribution of fatty alcohol.
Property
Alkyl polyglycoside (APG) is called new generation environmentally friendly surfactants. It is a nonionic surfactant. Because it is made from natural raw materials, APG is very mild and readily biodegradable. Alkyl polyglycoside (APG) has excellent mildness, foaming performance, and the ability to reduce irritation. Alkyl polyglycoside (APG) also exhibits excellent caustic stability and solubility in highly concentrated salt, alkali, and surfactant solution.
Alkyl polyglycoside (APG) is a new type of nonionic surfactant, which is obtained by the loss of a molecule of water from the hemiacetal hydroxyl group of glucose and the hydroxyl group of fatty alcohol under the catalysis of acid.
Sugar-based surfactants are not a new class of compounds. As early as 1893, Fisher reported the preparation of methyl glycosides. However, it was not until more than 40 years later that long-chain alkyl polyglycoside was recognized to have surface activity.
The alkyl polyglycoside has good compatibility. It can be compounded with various ionic and nonionic surfactants to produce a synergistic effects and has good foaming properties. Rich and fine foam, good solubility, strong alkali, and electrolyte resistance. Alkyl polyglycoside is non-toxic, non-irritating, and biodegradable. The alkyl polyglycoside has a good thickening capacity and good compatibility with the skin. It can significantly improve the mildness of the formula. So it is mostly used in the cosmetics industry.
