Glucoside 215DK is an Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG), non-ionic surfactant widely used as a primary or basic surfactant as well as a co-surfactant in the formulation of cosmetic products declared as “natural”.
Glucoside 215DK, as the other APGs, provides superior performance by combining the formulation ease of typical non ionics with the foam characteristic of anionics.
With excellent detergency and processing benefits in a variety of cleaning products, Glucoside 215DK exhibits superior wetting, dispersing and interfacial tension reduction properties for increased soil removal and emulsification.
Alkyl Polyglucosides represent the newer class of Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-free surfactants, completely biodegradable and produced from renewable resources.
Caprylyl Capryl Glucoside can also be used as a primary hydrophilic emulsifier in cold type O / A creams and milks, often coupled with a 4: 1 ratio lipophilic emulsifier or in hot emulsions with waxy consistency factors and as a solubilizer for small percentages of oily substances especially in detergent formulas.
