Aqueous solution of alkyl polyglucosides based on synthetic fatty alcohol C9 - C11

Tomorrow's Surfactants. Surfactants based on renewable raw materials

Alkyl polyglycosides belong to the group of nonionic surfactants. Unlike conventional surfactants, such as fatty alcohol ethoxylates, the manufacture of our polyglycosides is based exclusively on renewable raw materials. By using glucose derived from corn or potato starch and natural fatty alcohols derived from renewable coconut or palm kernel oil, both the hydrophilic & hydrophobic parts of the APG molecule are based on renewable raw materials.

Example of use

APG® 325 N is a nonionic alkyl polyglycoside surfactant that provides superior performance by combining the formulation ease of typical nonionic with the foam characteristics of anionics.  APG® 325 N provides excellent detergency and stability benefits in a variety of cleaning products.  It exhibits superior wetting, dispersing, and interfacial tension reduction properties for increased soil removal, especially on hard surfaces.  APG® 325 N is highly soluble in concentrated electrolyte and will hydrotrope other less soluble ingredients.  In addition to these unique performance characteristics, APG® 325 N alkyl polyglycoside surfactant is made from glucose derived from corn and fatty alcohol.  It is mild and readily biodegradable.

Applications:

APG® 325 N improves the performance of a variety of cleaning products for household, institutional, and industrial applications:

Hard Surface Cleaners: APG® 325 N has the wetting, penetrating, and detergency properties desired for products designed to clean surfaces such as glass, ceramic, plastic, and metal. 

In liquid hard surface cleaners, APG® 325 N acts as a hydrotrope to solubilize other ingredients.  This property is a definite advantage since many hard surface cleaners contain high levels of builders and solvents which have limited solubility.  APG® 325 N provides other hard surface cleaning benefits which are becoming increasingly important to consumers.  These include non-streaking, non-filming, and non-stress cracking of cleaned surfaces, as well as low toxicity.

Institutional and Industrial Cleaners: APG® 325 N is ideally suited for use in a variety of I&I liquid cleaning systems, especially hard surface cleaning applications.  Caustic stability, builder compatibility, detergency, and hydrotrope properties combine to offer the formulator greater flexibility and better cost/performance.
