C 8 - 16 alkyglycoside

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® 818 UP is a cloudy, viscous, aqueous solution of a C8-C16 fatty alcohol glycoside (coco-glucoside)

Example of use

The turbidity of the product is attributable to a combination of its magnesium oxide content (max. 500 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® 818 UP is a nonionic surfactant with a balanced combination regarding the foam volume and the excellent dermatological properties. Therefore it is suitable for use as a base surfactant or a co-surfactant in cosmetic cleansing preparations.
