Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) – Plant-Derived Mild Nonionic Surfactants
Plant-derived Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) nonionic surfactants, C4–C14 chain lengths, for mild personal care, home care and industrial cleaning.
Product Information
Alkyl Polyglucoside Overview
Alkyl polyglucosides are nonionic surfactants made from glucose and fatty alcohols of plant origin. Short-chain grades (C8–C10) give fast wetting and spreading, while longer-chain grades (C12–C14) give rich, stable foam and strong oil removal, so one family covers gentle cleansers through to hard-surface products.
Key Benefits
- ✔ Plant-derived, mild nonionic profile
- ✔ Adjustable foam strength by chain length
- ✔ Cleansing, wetting, emulsifying and dispersing functions
- ✔ Synergy with common co-surfactants
Applications
- Facial cleansers
- Body wash and bubble bath
- Shampoo and rinse-off care
- Cosmetic emulsions
- Dish and laundry detergents
- Hard-surface and car-wash cleaners

Processing tips
Select the grade by application, INCI, chain length and active matter, and convert as-supplied quantities to active content. Test the finished formula for foam, viscosity, cleaning, wetting, compatibility and stability. APGs work well with anionic and amphoteric surfactants, with especially strong synergy with betaines.
