Alkyl Polyglucoside Is New Surfactant
Alkyl polyglucoside (APG) is a new generation of non-ionic surfactant that is being developed internationally. It is synthesized by carbohydrate and natural fatty alcohols under the action of acidic catalysts. Sugar units are hydrophilic and alkyl is oil-friendly. Alkyl polyglucoside are mixtures of monoside, diglycosides, and triglycosides, and the molecular structure is as follows: Alkyl polyglucoside is characterized by all the raw materials for biodegradable natural resources. It is safe and non-toxic. The sugar monomer and alkyl ether bond are easy to degrade and environmentally friendly. Alkyl polyglucoside is good for decontamination, solubility, compatibility, mild skin and chemical stability. It has the characteristics of non-ionic surfactants and anionic surfactants. And the synergistic effect is obvious when used with other kinds of surfactants. The raw materials are renewable resources, which are not affected by the production of coal and oil, but also can so...
