Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) is a green surfactant with excellent interfacial activity, emulsified ability, foaming performance and wettability, which has great potential in enhancing heavy oil recovery at high-temperature and high-salinity condition.
Alkyl Polyglucosides (APG) are obtained by glycosylation of a reducing sugar with an excess of molten fatty alcohol. The reaction produces water, which is progressively eliminated, as well as Alkyl Polyglucoside.
Excess fatty alcohol, whether of long or short chain, is either retained or evaporated depending on the properties desired for the final surfactant.
At Seppic, the biomass residues generated during the production of emulsifiers (long chain fatty alcohols) are recycled into electricity and natural fertilizers for agriculture by a methanization process.
Alkyl Polyglucoside is a low foaming alkyl glucoside, non-ionic surfactant, based on a short chain fatty alcohol and glucose.

What is Alkyl polyglucoside?
Alkyl polyglucoside is a very popular ingredient these days because it comes from corn and coconuts, so it's natural, and it's also bidegradable. You'll commonly find it used as a detergent/cleanser and sometimes it's labeled ambiguously as "non-ionic surfactant" which means that it has a neutral (no) charge, and it lowers the surface tension of water.
Alkyl polyglucoside is obtained from 100% renewable raw materials, through a combination of plant based fatty alcohol, decanol which is derived from coconut and glucose (corn starch).
Alkyl polyglucoside is a mild, and gentle, surfactant and because it does not dry the skin it is ideal for the formulation of personal hygiene and toiletry products.
Alkyl polyglucoside was first used in soaps and body cleansers because of its great foaming power, mildness, and its ability to lather easily and thicken while retaining skin moisture even when used repeatedly; prevent skin dryness.
Alkyl polyglucoside also improves skin tolerance of a cosmetic formulation.
Alkyl polyglucoside is classified as a surfactant and this is why it is used in many products that are primarily used for personal hygiene and toiletries.
Alkyl polyglucoside also helps to moisturize the skin to prevent inflammation and itchiness.
Alkyl polyglucoside has many other qualities making it compatible with other cleaning chemicals and agents.
Surfactants lower the surface tension of products they’re added to, helping them remove dirt and oils more effectively while stabilizing oil and water mixtures. As a surfactant it also improves a product's ability to wet surfaces and form foam that’s stable and long-lasting.
Alkyl polyglucoside is used in our wrinkle releaser as a wetting agent.
Alkyl polyglucoside , used as a co-surfactant, can reduce the total active requirements of other foaming ingredients, without altering their performance; cleansing effectiveness, foam volume, and ease of thickening, are all maintained while improving on the mild, and gentle, nature of the final formulation.
