 Decyl Glucoside CAS 68515-73-1

Decyl Glucoside is supplied as an alkyl polyglucoside (APG) nonionic surfactant derived from fatty alcohols and glucose, widely used in formulation systems requiring mildness, compatibility, and stable foaming performance. It is commonly incorporated into personal care and household cleaning products where nonionic surfactant behavior is preferred.

In commercial supply, this product is typically delivered as an aqueous liquid with defined solid or active content, enabling straightforward handling and formulation. It is suitable for use in shampoos, facial cleansers, and liquid detergents. Standard packaging, batch documentation (COA, TDS, SDS), and supply support are available for both development and bulk applications.

  • Household cleaning products including dishwashing liquids and surface cleaners
  • Formulation systems requiring mild nonionic surfactants with good compatibility
  • Blending component with anionic or amphoteric surfactants

Application suitability should be evaluated based on formulation requirements and local regulatory considerations.

Packaging

Decyl Glucoside is supplied as a liquid surfactant and packed in clean, sealed containers suitable for aqueous chemical handling. Typical packaging includes plastic drums, IBC containers, or bulk tanker delivery for large-volume orders. Packaging is designed to prevent contamination and maintain product stability during storage and transportation. Configurations can be arranged based on order quantity and logistics requirements.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination and moisture variation. Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures and direct sunlight. The product may become hazy or more viscous at lower temperatures but typically recovers upon gentle warming and mixing.
