The alkyl polyglucoside (APG) is a commercial-grade product, and it is a kind of multi-purpose surfactant. It exhibits strong decontamination effect and outstanding wettability, while it is also mild, nonionic and biodegradable.
Typical Property| Appearance | Clear light-yellowish viscous liquid |
| Density at 25°C (kg/m3 ) | 1.10-1.20 |
| Actives (wt%) | ≥64 |
| Solubility in water at 20°C | 100% soluble |
| PH | 9.0-10.0 |
Application
1. The alkyl polyglucoside surfactant is often formulated into detergents for household, industrial and institutional applications where high, stable foam is needed, or where high alkaline concentration is preferred.
2. The corresponding alkyl polyglucoside-based solutions are different from other competitors in their good detergency as well as low streaking and filming properties. So, this nonionic surfactant is the perfect choice for bottle washing, glass cleaner, metal cleaner, paint stripper, aluminum brightener and highly alkaline detergent.
Safety and Handling
For safety considerations, personal protective equipment is highly recommended and actually it is a must. Before work, please refer to the precautions illustrated in the MSDS.
Packaging and Storage
Alkyl polyglucoside is packed in 55USG HDPE drum or 1000L IBC tote tank.
The container should be closed, and then placed at a dry, well-ventilated area that is away from heat, sparks, flames and incompatible materials. For palletizing, banding, shrink-wrapping and stacking operations, please follow safe warehousing practices.
