Request SDS →Decyl Glucoside (CAS 110615-47-9) is a nonionic alkyl polyglucoside surfactant derived from decyl alcohol and glucose. and CIR, it functions as a surfactant and emulsion stabilizer and appears across personal-care and household cleaning products. As a sugar-based nonionic, it is used for foaming and mild cleansing in surfactant blends.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sugar surfactant?
A sugar-based surfactant is a surface-active agent built on a sugar (glucose) headgroup. This product is decyl glucoside (CAS 110615-47-9), a nonionic alkyl polyglucoside made from decyl alcohol and glucose, used as a surfactant and emulsion stabilizer for foaming and mild cleansing in surfactant blends.
What are the four types of surfactant?
Surfactants are classified by the charge on their hydrophilic head: anionic (negative), cationic (positive), nonionic (no charge), and amphoteric/zwitterionic (both charges). Decyl glucoside is a nonionic alkyl polyglucoside, which is why it is commonly used in mild blends and as a co-surfactant.
What is decyl glucoside used for?
It functions as a nonionic surface-active agent for cleansing and wetting, as an emulsion stabilizer for oil-in-water cosmetic emulsions, as a mild foaming base in shampoos, body washes, and cleansers, and as a surfactant component of hard-surface and dish formulations.
What is the market for sugar-based surfactants?
Sugar-based (alkyl polyglucoside) surfactants are used across personal-care and household cleaning where a nonionic, plant-derived foaming and mild-cleansing base is wanted. We supply decyl glucoside to manufacturers serving those formulation markets; contact us for volume availability.
How is decyl glucoside supplied in bulk?
We supply it to personal-care and household-cleaning manufacturers in bulk packaging such as drums and totes. CAS is 110615-47-9; HS classification is 3402.42 (non-ionic organic surface-active agents). Request a quote with your volume for current bulk pricing, CoA, and SDS.
