Decyl Glucoside Natural Surfactant
Decyl Glucoside, (C10-16) Alkyl D-Glucopyranoside) aqueous solution is a premium surfactant that derives from natural and renewable resources. That’s for compounding of all types of top quality and top performing soaps, shampoos , body washes, and high quality detergent items.
In Addition, Our Decyl Glucoside is a fatty polyglycoside prepare by reacting corn glucose with Natural fatty alcohol. Decyl Glucoside is a natural nonionic surfactant. Has great foaming capacity and is mild and gentle on the skin. Lastly, it can be use as the only surfactant or can be a co-surfactant in cleansing formulas.
Also, at low temperatures, surfactants may undergo a phenomenon called “gel formation”. In this phenomen the surfactant molecules arrange themselves in a specific structure.
To address this, gently heating the product can liquefy the hardened surfactant. This can be done by either passing hot water over the container or diluting the solution with water to break down the gel-like structure.
Gel Formation: Decyl Glucoside, like some other surfactants, may undergo gel formation at low temperatures, causing the product to thicken or solidify. To address this issue, the product can be gently heated to return it to a liquid state. Alternatively, diluting the solution with water can help break down the gel-like structure.
In summary, Decyl Glucoside is a natural and mild surfactant commonly used in personal care and cleaning products. Its ability to create lather, gentle nature, and versatility make it a valuable ingredient in a wide range of formulations. Manufacturers should be aware of the potential for gel formation at low temperatures and have strategies in place to address this issue during production and storage.
