Emulsifiers & Surfactants
Glucoside 215 is a C8-C10 non ionic, easily biodegradable, low irritating multipurpose surfactant with a yellowish liquid, slightly cloudy and viscous appearance.
Glucoside 215 belongs to the family of Alkyl Polyglucosides (APG’s) and it is manufactured from renewable sources.
Glucoside 215 is listed on ECOCERT and it is specifically designed to help formulators develop naturally oriented formulations. It can be used as primary and co-surfactants for several applications.
Applications
Glucoside 215 exhibits excellent caustic stability and solubility in caustic and saline solutions.
Due to its good wetting and dispersing properties Glucoside 215 can be used for caustic, neutral and acidic hard surface cleaning for the household and institutional sector.
Glucoside 215 shows excellent solubilizing properties in highly concentrated surfactant solutions also in the presence of salt and alkalies.
Shelf Life
Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life is 12 months
Health & Safety
Detailed information on the product described can be found in our relevant Health and Safety Information (Material Safety Data Sheet)
Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is water soluble and stable over a wide pH range. As a boundary surfactant it is usually used in a 2:5 ratio with the primary anionic surfactant to improve the texture and foaming of the finished product.
As a liquid it can be used in cold-processed recipes, however, can also be heated in the heated water phase if needed. Avoid vigorous stirring/agitation to work up too much lather.
