  • Miscellaneous applications

    Miscellaneous applications Through a special process based on short-term exposure to high temperature (rapid drying), the aqueous paste of C12-14 APG can be converted into white non-agglomerated alkyl polyglycoside powder, with a residual moisture of about 1% alkyl polyglycoside. So it is also us...

  • Cosmetic emulsion preparations 2 of 2

    Cosmetic emulsion preparations 2 of 2   The oil mixture consists of dipropyl ether in a ratio of 3:1. The hydrophilic emulsifier is a 5:3 mixture of coco-glucoside (C8-14 APG) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES).This highly foaming anionic surfactant mixture is the basis of many body cleaning formu...

  • Cosmetic emulsion preparations 1 of 2

    Cosmetic emulsion preparations     The solubilization of comparably small amounts of oil components in rinse and shampoo formulations demonstrates the basic emulsification properties which alkyl polyglycosides should be expected to show as nonionic surfactants. However, a proper understanding of ...

  • Physicochemical Properties of Alkyl Polyglycosides-Phase behavior 2 of 2

    Physicochemical Properties of Alkyl Polyglycosides-Phase behavior Binary systems The phase diagram of the C12-14 alkyl polyglycoside (C12-14 APG)/ water system differs from that of the short-chain APG. (Figure 3). At lower temperatures, a solid/liquid region below the Krafft point is formed, it o...

  • Production of water-insoluble alkyl polyglycosides

    If fatty alcohols containing 16 or more carbon atoms per molecule are used in the synthesis of alkyl polyglycosides, the resulting product is soluble in water only at very low concentrations, typically DP of 1.2 to 2. They are hereinafter referred to as water-insoluble alkyl polyglycosides.Amon...

  • Requirements for the industrial production of water-soluble alkyl polyglycosides

    The design requirements of an alkyl glycoside production plant based on Fisher synthesis depend largely on the type of carbohydrate used and the chain length of the alcohol used.The production of water-soluble alkyl glycosides based on octanol/decanol and dodecanol/tetradecanol was first introd...

  • Synthesis processes for the production of alkyl polyglycosides

    Basically, the reaction process of all carbohydrates synthesized by Fischer with alkyl glycosides can be reduces to two process variants, namely, direct synthesis and transacetalization. In both cases, the reaction may proceed in batches or continuously. Under direct synthesis, the carbohyd...

  • Technology and Production of Alkyl Polyglycosides-Degree of polymerization

    Through the polyfunctionality of carbohydrates, acid catalyzed Fischer reactions are conditioned to produce an oligomer mixture in which on average more than one glycation unit is attached to an alcohol microsphere. The average number of glycose units linked to an alcohol group is described as th...
