Alkyl Polyglucosides (APG)
Alkyl Polyglucosides are non-ionic surfactants built from two renewable raw materials, a sugar component (typically glucose derived from corn starch) and a fatty alcohol, most commonly sourced from coconut or palm. The glucose provides the hydrophilic (water-loving) head, while the fatty alcohol provides the hydrophobic (oil-loving) tail. Like all surfactants, this amphiphilic structure gives APGs their ability to reduce surface tension and lift oils and soils away from surfaces.

Benefits of Alkyl Polyglucosides (APG)
Environmentally Friendly
The products made of APGs are eco-friendly because the substance will not result in any adverse effects while biodegradation. Their raw material source is renewable, and thus available to perform clean manufacturing activities.
Gentle on Skin
These are very mild non-ionic surfactants, which are safe for application on the skin and can therefore be used in baby products and perfumes. Also, their eco-friendly nature allows organizations to achieve their sustainability goals.
High Performance
APGs provide very rich cleaning, emulsifying, and foaming properties and still work well in water hardness or pH variation.
Versatility
They are widely applied in most products, including cleaning agents and detergents, shampoos, and many industrial processes.
Compatibility
The APGs can be combined with other non-ionic surfactants to improve product performance without compromising product stability.
Type of Alkyl Polyglucosides (APG)
APG 0810 (C8-C10 Alkyl Glucoside)
It is light yellow to light brown clear liquid.It provides very good foaming and detergency. Being known as sulfate soap, it is mainly applied to products that need a creation of foam and real cleanness.
APG 1214 (C12-C14 Alkyl Glucoside)
Generally a slurry or thick flowing paste of light yellow to amber color.It possesses good detergency power and gives good and steady foam even under hard water conditions.
APG 0814 (C8-C14 Alkyl Glucoside)
Clear light yellow viscous liquid made by mixing APG 0810 and APG 1214.While maintaining a gentle action, it performs intense cleansing of the skin. Suitable for gentle wash and other tender skin products.
Applications of Alkyl Polyglucosides
APGs are extremely popular in the personal care industry due to their mild nature and potential to create a dense foam.
Shampoos and Conditioners: APG 0810 is used as one of the important components for shampoos as it provides a proper cleaning effect and a thick foam.
Body Washes: The APG 0814 helps create products that are very effective in cleansing skin without causing any irritation.
Facial Cleansers: APG 1214 has applications in facial cleanliness, which are appreciated for its irreversible cleansing effect.
APGs are also useful in household cleaning formulations because of their detergency and hardness sensitivity.
Dishwashing Liquids: They are very effective in cutting through grease, which makes them a good option for dishwashing liquids.
Surface Cleaners: APGs provide continuous and non-tacky cleaning, which is an important element of any surface cleaner.
APGs are recommended when high cleaning power or strong detergency is required.
Equipment Cleaning: Applicable on industrial equipment to remove grease and clean them.
Hard Surface Cleaners: Very efficient in breaking up foul and hard stains.
Due to its low toxicity and biodegradability, APG is used as the main ingredient in many mild personal care products including baby soaps, body washes, and lotions that do not harm the skin.
Synthesis Processes of Alkyl Polyglucosides (APG)
One-Step Method (Direct Method)
Low equipment requirements, mild reaction conditions, easy control of production process, shorter reaction time.
Two-Step Method (Transglycosylation Method)
Better solves the compatibility issue between raw materials, synthesis is easier to achieve, shorter reaction time; excess fatty alcohol is easy to evaporate.
Choosing the Right Alkyl Polyglucosides (APG) for Your Needs
For Rich Foam
APG 0810 can be used for shampoos and body washes.
For Heavy-Duty Cleaning
Conclusively, APG 1214 is the most suitable product for industrial and domestic use.
For Mild Formulations
APG 0814 is particularly suitable for applications such as baby products and face wash.
Packaging and Storage of Alkyl Polyglucosides (APG)
200kg Barrels: Specifically intended for industries that rely on mass production.
IBC Barrels: Commercial packing that comes in medium sizes and hence may be preferred by many businesses.
Small Cabinet Packing: Suitable for bulk shipping, holds up to 16 tons or up to 20 IBC barrels.
Storage: Expiration date is 12 months with original package. The storage temperature is preferably in the range of 0 to 45℃.If store a long time at 45℃ or more, the color of products will gradually become darker. When products were stored at room temperature, there will be a small amount of solid precipitation or appearance of turbidity which is due to a small amount of Ca2、Ma2（≤500ppm） at high PHs, but this will have no negative impacts on the properties. With lower PH value down to 9 or less, the products can become clear and transparent.
