Lansurf APG8

Product Category: Bio-based

Alkyl Polyglucoside

INCI Name: Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside

Quick Links

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 surfactant with excellent detergency and penetration.

  • High foaming, including in highly alkaline or electrolyte‑rich systems.

  • Mild and readily biodegradable, supporting eco‑friendly, gentler formulations.

  • High tolerance/solubility in caustic formulations and high‑electrolyte systems.

​

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
