Lansurf APG12

Product Category: Bio-based

Alkyl Polyglucoside

INCI Name: Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside

Quick Links

Lansurf APG12 is a C10–16 alkyl polyglucoside, a bio‑renewable, nonionic surfactant produced from natural fatty alcohols and glucose. It provides an optimal balance of mildness, excellent detergency, wetting performance, and high, stable foam, even in systems containing high levels of electrolyte or alkalinity. This makes it suitable for demanding cleaning applications as well as gentle personal care formulations.

​

Lansurf APG12 is readily biodegradable, offering strong environmental compatibility while maintaining high performance across a broad range of formulations. Its robust solubility and stability in high‑alkaline and high‑electrolyte environments allow formulators to use it in both heavy‑duty industrial applications and mild skin‑contact systems.cleaning environments.

​

This surfactant is readily biodegradable and contributes to environmentally conscious formulations without sacrificing performance. As a versatile ingredient, it is widely used in laundry detergents, I&I cleaners, personal care, vehicle care, agrochemical adjuvants, and oilfield chemistry.

​

Key Features

​

  • Nonionic surfactants with excellent detergency and penetration

  • High foaming characteristics particularly in high electrolyte solutions

  • Mild and readily biodegradable 

  • High tolerance/solubility in high alkalinity solutions

​

Applications

 

Cleaning & Detergent
Lansurf APG12 is used widely in cleaning formulations due to its combination of mildness, detergency, wetting, high foaming, and solubility in high‑electrolyte and high‑alkalinity systems.

Applications include:

- Laundry detergents
- Kitchen, bathroom & multipurpose cleaners
- Industrial & institutional cleaners (I&I)
- Vehicle & traffic film cleaners

​

Personal Care
Lansurf APG12 is suitable for use in cosmetic and personal care formulations due to its mildness, high foaming, and biodegradability.
- Used in cosmetic & personal care products requiring gentle yet effective cleaning performance

​

Agrochemicals
Used as an adjuvant due to its excellent wetting, detergency, and compatibility in electrolyte‑rich agrochemical formulations.
- Enhances wetting and performance in agricultural spray formulations

​

Oilfield Chemicals
Lansurf APG12 is suitable for oilfield formulations where strong wetting, detergency, and high‑alkalinity stability are required.
- Used in oilfield treatment chemicals relying on high‑solubility, high‑performance surfactants
