Emulsifiers & Surfactants
Glucoside 600 is a C12-C14 non-ionic, easily biodegradable, low irritating multipurpose surfactant. The product is a cloudy, slightly viscous solution of C8-C16 fatty alcohol polyglycoside. It belongs to the family of Alkyl Polyglucosides (APG’s) and it is manufactured from renewable sources.
Glucoside 600 is listed on ECOCERT and it is specifically designed to help formulators develop naturally oriented formulations.
Glucoside 600 can be used as primary and co-surfactant for several applications.
Applications
Glucoside 600 is a nonionic surfactant with a balanced combination regarding the foam volume and the excellent dermatological properties. Therefore it is suitable for use as a base surfactant or a co-surfactant in cosmetic cleansing preparations.
Glucoside 600 exhibits excellent caustic stability and solubility in caustic and saline solutions.
Due to its good wetting and dispersing properties Glucoside 600 can be used for caustic, neutral and acidic hard surface cleaning for the household and institutional sector.
Glucoside 600 shows excellent solubilizing properties in highly concentrated surfactant solutions also in the presence of salt and alkalis.
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).
CLauryl Glucoside is soluble in water and in surfactant solutions. Before adding it must be heated slightly so that it becomes easily miscible. It is stable over a wide pH range. Store in a cool and dry place, away from sources of light and heat. At low temperatures, crystallization and sedimentation phenomena may occur, in addition to normal thickening, which can be solved by slightly heating the product during mixing, until uniformity.
Store at <50 ° C.
