Lansurf APG8
Product Category: Bio-based
Alkyl Polyglucoside
Lansurf APG8 is a C8-16 alkyl polyglucosides bio-renewable surfactant that provides a combination of wetting and detergency charactistics combined with a high solubility in formulations containing high levels of electrolyte and alkalinity. The material also acts as a hydrotrope, solubilising other surfactant into these formulations.
Key Features
​
-
Nonionic surfactants with excellent detergency and penetration​
-
High foaming characteristics particularly in high electrolyte solution​
-
Mild and readily biodegradable​
-
High tolerance/solubility in high alkalinity solutions
Applications
