Alkyl Polyglycoside, commonly called APG for short, is a sugar-based eco-friendly green surfactant. It's safe, non-toxic, readily biodegradable, and skin-friendly. APG was first synthesized by German Chemist Emil Fischer in 1893. Nowadays, APGs are produced by reacting fatty alcohols and glucose, which all can be obtained from renewable vegetal sources like corn, sugarcane, and coconut or palm.
Thanks to its safeness, environmental friendliness, and excellent cleansing performance, APG has been an emerging non-ionic surfactant increasingly used to produce skin-friendly and eco-friendly consumer products for use in Home & Personal care, such as dishwashing liquid, hand soaps liquid, facial cleansers, and shampoos. APG also features great compatibility with a wide range of other surfactants.
Yeser Chemicals partners with leading APG producers through a Third-party Toll-manufacturing Agreement. We can supply top-quality Yeser® APG 0814 at a competitive price with fast delivery, accompanied by comprehensive services.
Features & Benefits:
- Mild performance, non-irritating to eyes, good ecological compatibility.
- Rich, fine and stable foaming power and strong decontamination power.
- Stable to acid, alkali and salt media, with good compatibility with anionic, cationic, non-amphoteric surfactants.
- Rapid and complete biodegradation with bactericidal properties.
Stability/Shelf life:
Stable at a wide pH range, except in strong acid and alkali.
Pack in tight-closed containers(drums or tanks); Store in a dry, ventilated and cool place; Kept away from direct sun and water.
Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life of Yeser® APG0814 is 12 months.
Recommended dosage:
The recommended dosage of Yeser® APG0814 in hair and skin care products is 1.0%-10.0%.
