Frequently Asked Questions

What is capryl glucoside used for?

Caprylyl glucoside (CAS 29836-26-8) is a non-ionic alkyl polyglucoside surfactant used as a mild surfactant and detergent in cleansing and personal-care formulations, as a co-surfactant/solubilizer in surfactant blends, and as a permitted inert ingredient in non-food pesticide products. RawSource supplies it in bulk.

Is capryl glucoside natural or synthetic?

Capryl glucoside is an alkyl polyglucoside derived from fatty alcohol and glucose; the feedstocks are typically plant-derived (e.g., coconut/palm and corn), with the surfactant produced by chemical synthesis. Sourcing and certifications are confirmed on the supplied grade's documentation.

What is the chemical formula of capryl glucoside?

Caprylyl glucoside has formula C14H28O6 (CAS 29836-26-8), an alkyl glucoside of a C8 fatty alcohol. Request the CoA for the exact specification.

What active content and packaging is bulk capryl glucoside available in?

Caprylyl glucoside is supplied as an aqueous surfactant solution; active concentration, pH, and packaging (drums, totes) are confirmed at quote, with a CoA and SDS provided per lot.

What is the cost of bulk capryl glucoside?

Pricing depends on active content, packaging, and order volume. RawSource quotes industrial quantities; request a bulk quote with your target volume for current pricing.
