C 12 - 16 alkylglycoside

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.

Product properties

Appearance

PLANTACARE® 1200 UP is a cloudy, viscous, aqueous solution of a C12-C16 fatty alcohol polyglycoside.

Example of use

The turbidity of the product is attributable to a combination of its magnesium oxide content (max. 600 ppm magnesium) and the pH value at which it is supplied. This turbidity has no negative effects on the products properties and disappears if the pH value is adjusted to below 7. PLANTACARE® 1200 UP is a nonionic surfactant with good dermatological compatibility and viscosity enhancing effects. Therefore it is suitable for use as an additive or a co-surfactant in cosmetic surfactant cleansing preparations.
