Frequently Asked Questions
What is coco-glucoside?
Coco-glucoside (CAS 141464-42-8) is an alkyl polyglucoside (APG) non-ionic surfactant made from coconut-derived fatty alcohols and glucose. Industry references record its functions as surfactant and emulsion stabilizer. It is used as a primary or co-surfactant in shampoos, facial and body cleansers, and household and institutional cleaning products.
What is coco-glucoside made from?
It is produced by reacting coconut-derived fatty alcohols with glucose (typically from corn or other plant starch). The result is an alkyl polyglucoside, an ether-linked sugar-based non-ionic surfactant.
Is coco-glucoside the same as coconut oil?
No. Coconut oil is a triglyceride fixed oil, whereas coco-glucoside is a synthesized alkyl polyglucoside surfactant that uses coconut-derived fatty alcohol as one feedstock plus a sugar unit. They are chemically distinct materials with different functions.
How is bulk coco-glucoside packaged?
It is supplied as an aqueous solution in drums, IBC totes, and bulk volumes. Request a CoA and SDS with your quote to confirm active content, pH, and specification for your formulation.
What HS code applies to coco-glucoside?
Coco-glucoside falls under HS 3402.42 — organic surface-active agents (other than soap), non-ionic. Verify the final classification with your customs broker for your import jurisdiction.
