Alkyl polyglycoside surfactant, synthesized from renewable resources natural fatty alcohol and glucose, is a new comprehensive nonionic surfactant with both nonionic and anionic surfactants and high surface activity. Good ecological safety and compatibility are internationally recognized as the preferred "green" functional surfactants.

However, it is similar to conventional surfactants, usually strongly alkaline, and has a poor cleaning ability for nonionic surfactants. Most of the alkyl polyglycoside surfactants have higher viscosity, the appearance is viscous liquid or semi-solid (active content is about 50%), easy to be thickened, because the price is higher than the traditional surface, and the detergency is slightly Inferior, more than AES, CAB and other complex use.

 China's surfactant industry began in the 1950s and has long been used mainly in the production of synthetic detergents. With the intensification of market competition, manufacturers have shifted their focus to industrial surfactants. The increase in the consumption of industrial surfactants has also led to the rapid development of China's surfactant industry. Especially in the last 20 years, China's surface activity The agent industry is in a state of rapid development. The alkyl polyglycoside developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s is regarded as a world-class surfactant by domestic and foreign experts.

 Alkyl polyglycosides ( APG ) are a new class of green nonionic surfactants. It has a unique viscosity-increasing, dissolving and compounding surface. It also has many characteristics of nonionic surfactants and anionic surfactants: low surface tension, high surface activity, strong wetting ability, strong decontamination ability, rich and delicate foam; and obvious synergy with other surfactants. The effect is excellent in compatibility; the solubility is still high in the case of high electrolyte concentration; the calcium soap has strong dispersing ability and can be used in hard water; it has no toxic and side effects, and has good compatibility with skin and complete biodegradation. Less environmental pollution and a wide range of raw materials.

Alkyl polyglycosides (APG) are excellent in ecological and toxicological properties as well as outstanding physicochemical properties, and are particularly suitable for use in detergents and personal care products that come into contact with human skin. In addition, it can be used as a functional additive in the chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, industrial emulsifier, food industry, bio-chemicals and agrochemicals.
