Alkyl glucoside, AlkylPolyglucoside(APG). It is formed by the catalytic dehydration of the hemiacetal hydroxyl group of glucose and the fatty alcohol hydroxyl group. Alkyl glycoside (APG) is a new type of highly efficient, non-toxic, biodegradable non-ionic surfactant with good surface activity. The raw material required for its production is glucose and fatty alcohol derived from renewable natural resources. The combination can form the surfactant with the best performance at present. Strong foaming power, foam stability, good wettability, excellent compatibility, little irritation to human body, very low toxicity, rapid biodegradation, is currently the only variety in the world can be called non-toxic grade, therefore, APG with its superior performance is known as "world-class" surfactants. Alkyl glycosides can be used in daily chemical industry, textile industry, pesticide industry, food industry, oil production industry, etc.
Application of liquid handmade soap Many people feel that the liquid is not thick enough after dissolving soap seeds. For natural soap makers, it is a big problem to find a non-toxic, harmless and efficient thickener. Alkyl glycosides can definitely make soap makers satisfied with the safety, because many children's shampoo, body wash without the presence of AGP. For manual liquid soap, liquid soap itself belongs to anionic surfactant, with anionic surfactant properties, such as decontantion, foaming, dispersion, emulsification, wetting and so on. As for AGP, it has the properties of non-ionic and anionic surfactants, so it is well compatible with liquid soap. In addition, when AGP is added into the handmade soap, the characteristics of non-ionic surfactant will be introduced into the handmade soap, that is, it has high stability and can resist acid and base. And what's better for soap is that it can increase the resistance of soap to hard water. However, AGP also has its disadvantages, it is similar to traditional surfactants, AGP is alkaline, belongs to the non-ionic surfactant cleaning ability is relatively low type. Because its price is relatively high, and the stain removal is not high, to achieve the ideal effect is best to be combined with other emulsifiers (and betaine, AES, amino acid surfactants and other combinations will be better).
