Alkyl Polyglucoside

Application scope of Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG)

Application of Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) in detergent industry:

APG is non-toxic, has minimal skin irritation, is safe, and has significant thickening, thickening, and cleaning power. Using APG to replace some AES, LAS, 6501, AEO, K12, AOS in the preparation of meal cleaning agents, shower gels, shampoo products, hard surface cleaning agents, facial cleansers, laundry detergents, etc., has shown significant effects. The detergent made from APG has good solubility, mildness, and degreasing ability, with minimal skin irritation, non toxicity, and easy rinsing. Add APG to laundry detergent instead of AEO LAS， It can significantly improve its mildness, resistance to hard water, and ability to wash leather dirt while maintaining its original washing performance, and also has softness, anti-static properties, and anti shrinkage properties. In addition, it also has the characteristics of sterilization, reducing irritation, and foam is white and delicate.

APG has stable performance in strong alkali, strong acid, and high concentration electrolytes, with low corrosiveness, and is easy to biodegrade without causing environmental pollution. Therefore, it can be used to formulate industrial cleaning agents, such as; Fields such as metal cleaning, industrial bottle cleaning, and transportation vehicle cleaning. In tableware washing, LAS/APG mixture shows excellent synergistic effect. foam is better than single component, with good resistance to hard water, mild to skin, comfortable after use, and easy to rinse without leaving traces. APG can not only serve as an auxiliary surfactant, but is also more suitable for use as the main surface activity in dishwashing detergents. Replacing some AES and LAS with APG in liquid detergents can be used for cleaning various fabrics, effectively removing soil and oil stains. It also has soft, anti-static, and anti shrink functions, and is still effective when used in hard water.

A bathroom cleaning agent mainly composed of APG surfactant, combined with anionic surfactant sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (LAS) and nonionic surfactants such as 6501 and fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (AEO-9), has a significant cleaning effect and meets the requirements of environmental labeling product technology for cleaning agents. APG used as a toilet cleaner can effectively protect the rubber and plastic parts of the toilet.

Application of Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) in the cosmetics industry:

APG can be stored for a longer period of time within a larger temperature range, while also having the function of humidification. The use of APG as an emulsifier in cosmetics has the effects of reducing the irritability of the formula, increasing the moisturizing effect of the formula, and improving the efficacy of functional products. It is one of the essential ingredients in low irritation shampoo and children's shampoo. Shampoo and bath liquid made of APG have great foaming power. The foam is white and delicate. It has a soft effect on the skin, no irritation to the eyes, no pollution to the environment, good resistance to hard water, and good recuperation and maintenance functions. It is especially suitable for preparing high-end toilet products.

In skin cleaning products, APG has good safety, mildness, decontamination, foaming, foam stability, compatibility and rheology. Therefore, it is commonly used in products such as shower gel and facial cleanser for skin cleansing. Adding a small amount of APG as a conditioning agent to the bath solution formula will make the skin feel more comfortable after washing.

In hair conditioners, APG has a softening effect on the skin, is non irritating to the eyes, and has a good conditioning and maintenance effect on the hair. Synergistic effect with quaternary ammonium salts is beneficial for improving the wet combing ability of hair, while the dry combing ability remains basically unchanged.

Application of Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) in the pesticide industry:

APG has excellent wetting and permeability properties, is insensitive to high concentration electrolytes, biodegradable, does not pollute crops and land, and has excellent moisture absorption. Unlike polyoxyethylene nonionic surfactants, APG does not have a reverse phase cloud point, which can effectively reduce the surface tension of the pesticide solution, delay the evaporation of the water in the solution, and maintain the hydration and dissolution state of the pesticide for a long time. It helps to improve the absorption speed and rate of the pesticide by plant leaves. It is suitable as a pesticide emulsifier, wettable powder, insecticide, plant growth regulator, and can regulate soil temperature. It has a significant synergistic effect on herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. It can also be used for nitrogen fixation in soil, and C8-C22 APG can be used as a preservative for the preservation of grains, fish, meat products, and flowers.

Application of Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) in the Biochemical Industry:

Compared with non-ionic surfactants, APG has the advantages of high critical micelle concentration, removable by dialysis, low protein denaturation, and high UV penetration performance. Therefore, APG has a good effect in the field of membrane protein solubilization and reconstruction biochemistry. Meanwhile, APG can also be used for refining cytochrome C, RNA polymerase, rhodopsin, fatty acids, etc., to stabilize these proteins.

Application of Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) in the Plastic Industry:

APG applied in greenhouse plastic film can play a stabilizing and flame-retardant role, with excellent anti fog effect. As a new emulsifier, it can be used in lotion polymerization to obtain various products with excellent properties.

Application of Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) in the petroleum industry:

APG has the effect of reducing water activity and changing the flow state of shale pore fluids, so it can be used as an inhibitor. Adding it to drilling fluid has good lubricity, strong inhibition ability, strong anti pollution ability, and good reservoir protection effect. APG can interact with other water-soluble polymers to achieve optimal filtration reduction. It can broaden the temperature limit range for the use of natural polymer drilling fluids and is biodegradable, which is beneficial for environmental protection. In tertiary oil recovery, the use of C12-C16 APG complex solution as a replacement fluid significantly enhances the effect, and compared with water flooding, it can improve the oil recovery rate.

Application of Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) in the textile and printing and dyeing industries:

APG can be used as an anti wrinkle agent for cotton fabrics and a dispersant for aqueous solutions in the textile industry. APG is suitable for dyeing and other processes. It is not easy to produce foam and can reduce stain. It is especially suitable for high-temperature refining agent, high-temperature dyeing dispersant and leveling agent. APG itself has good product viscosity, which can endow textile auxiliaries with a certain viscosity, and its viscosity increasing ability can be compared with commonly used alkylamines. When APG1214 is used, no tackifier is needed, which has no adverse effect on foam and no pollution. APG can also be used as a paraffin emulsifier in the textile industry.

The application of Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) in the papermaking and firefighting industries:

APG can improve the adhesive effect on paper, and when combined with other surfactants, it can produce high-performance waste paper flotation de ink agents. APG is also widely used in firefighting agents.

Application of Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) in the pharmaceutical industry:

APG has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against Gram negative bacteria, Gram positive bacteria, and fungi. APG08-12 has antibacterial activity and increases with the number of alkyl carbon atoms. Therefore, it can be used as a sanitary cleaning agent. APG derivatives have broad prospects in pharmaceuticals.
