Transfar Unmatched High-Purity Alkyl Glucoside Series Surfactants

APG exhibits exceptional acid-base stability, maintaining consistent performance across a wide pH range of 2–12. It is suitable for alkaline formulations like laundry detergents and dishwashing liquids (pH 8–11), as well as for use in fruit acid facial cleansers, acidic kitchen and bathroom cleaners (pH 3–5). It does not undergo hydrolysis or performance degradation in acidic or alkaline environments and maintains excellent emulsifying and dispersing capabilities even under extreme pH conditions, making it an ideal choice for cross-category formulation design.

APG's foaming characteristics can be flexibly adjusted through grade selection and blending: Short-chain grades (e.g., APG 0810) produce rich, dense foam. When combined with betaine, they enhance high-foam effects, making them suitable for consumer products like hand soaps and shower gels. Long-chain types (e.g., APG 1214) exhibit low foam formation and quick defoaming. When blended with defoamers, they meet low-foam requirements for metal cleaning and industrial spray washing while maintaining cleaning efficacy—no compromise on performance is needed to meet foam control needs.

While APG's per-ton price is slightly higher than traditional surfactants, formulation optimization achieves “cost reduction and efficiency gains”: Adding 10%-20% APG can replace 30%-50% of ingredients like AES and AEO. This enhances product mildness and environmental friendliness while reducing total raw material usage. Additionally, APG reduces the required amounts of solubilizers and chelating agents in formulations. Overall formulation costs increase by only 5%–8%, yet this enables product upgrades to premium lines. The resulting premium pricing far exceeds the cost increase, actually boosting profit margins.

APG exhibits excellent low-temperature stability with a low freezing point of -10°C. It maintains good solubility and cleaning power above 0°C. Even under winter outdoor conditions (-5°C to 5°C), it does not separate or crystallize. It can be directly used in products like antifreeze windshield washer fluid, winter laundry detergents, and outdoor equipment cleaners, addressing the low-temperature failure issues of traditional surfactants.
