Explore our premium product portfolio engineered for high-performance cleaning, mild conditioning, and stability control.
In the modern personal care and industrial cleaning sectors, the shift from synthetic, petroleum-derived surfactants to green, bio-based alternatives has transitioned from an ecological preference to a regulatory and market imperative. At the vanguard of this transition is APG0810 Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside Liquid 50% (CAS NO.: 68515-73-1). Formulated from renewable plant-derived raw materials—specifically natural fatty alcohols from coconut and palm kernel oil, synthesized with glucose derived from corn starch—APG0810 represents the pinnacle of sustainable nonionic surfactants.
Operating as a C8-10 Alkyl Glycoside, APG0810 exhibits exceptional surface activity, outstanding wetting capabilities, and high compatibility with various ionic surfactant classes. Its structural properties grant it unique chemical stability under extreme conditions, including high alkaline environments, concentrated electrolyte solutions, and intense mechanical shearing. Unlike traditional ether sulfates (such as SLES/SLS), Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is completely free from 1,4-dioxane, ethylene oxide, and nitrosamines, making it the benchmark selection for premium, clean-label cosmetic formulations and eco-friendly home care products.
"By leveraging short-chain alkyl polyglucosides, formulators can achieve rapid flash foam, high compatibility with concentrated electrolytes, and deep gentle cleansing without compromising the skin barrier or environmental integrity."
Providing high-quality raw materials requires precise analytical data. Suzhou Yuantairun Chemical ensures every batch of APG0810 Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside Liquid 50% complies with strict quality management system thresholds. Below is the detailed specification sheet:

The technical roadmap for Alkyl Polyglucosides (APGs) focuses on optimizing synthesis efficiency, reducing energy consumption during the Fischer Glycosidation process, and minimizing trace impurities. APG0810 is synthesized via direct esterification of C8-C10 fatty alcohols with glucose under acidic catalyst conditions. The future of APG manufacturing focuses on three structural dimensions:
APG0810 is highly versatile, providing targeted solutions across several key sectors:
Acts as an ultra-mild co-surfactant in sulfate-free shampoos, facial cleansers, and baby washes. It significantly reduces the irritation index of traditional anionic surfactants while boosting flash foam volume.
Ideal for hard surface cleaners, glass cleaners, and automatic dishwashing detergents. Its extreme stability in high levels of sodium hydroxide or builders prevents phase separation and clouding.
Serves as an effective wetting agent and adjuvant for agricultural pesticide formulations. It reduces droplet surface tension, optimizing leaf adhesion and biological efficacy.
Expanding your footprint in international markets requires rigorous adherence to local regulations. Our APG0810 manufacturing line is backed by comprehensive regulatory and compliance portfolios, minimizing risks for global purchasers and R&D formulation houses.
Suzhou Yuantairun Chemical is committed to providing documentation for seamless customs clearance, including complete REACH registrations for Europe, TSCA declarations for the USA, and ECOCERT/COSMOS certifications for green cosmetics compliance. Our localized customer service network provides technical support directly to your formulation engineers, offering rapid troubleshooting for viscosity modification, preservation systems, and foaming characteristics.
Inside our production facilities, advanced automation systems ensure stable chemical performance, minimal human intervention, and massive scale capabilities.
At Suzhou Yuantairun Chemical, our manufacturing plant incorporates Factory 4.0 principles. By implementing DCS (Distributed Control Systems) throughout the synthesis of Alkyl Polyglucosides, we monitor vital variables like reaction temperature, pressure, dehydration rates, and free alcohol stripping in real-time. This automated control maintains a narrow molecular distribution of C8 and C10 chains, leading to consistent performance, batch after batch.
This focus on production technology ensures consistent product quality and mitigates supply chain risks. With an annual capacity exceeding 50,000 tons of green surfactants, we manage a resilient supply chain with raw materials sourced under sustainable agricultural practices (supporting RSPO mass balance protocols). Our strategic location in Suzhou offers rapid logistics connections, guaranteeing prompt shipments to ports in Shanghai and Ningbo, and secure delivery to your plants worldwide.

Alkyl Polyglucosides possess high solid content (50%) and naturally form intermolecular hydrogen bonds. When stored below 15°C, the product may become turbid, precipitate crystals, or increase in viscosity. This is a reversible physical phenomenon and does not affect chemical quality. Gentle heating to 40°C–50°C and stirring before use restores the liquid to its transparent state. We can also customize pH and water content profiles to minimize crystallization risk.
APG0810 consists of shorter alkyl chains (C8-C10), which lower its critical micelle concentration (CMC) and facilitate rapid diffusion to air-water interfaces. This results in fast, high-volume foam (flash foam) with larger bubble structure. APG1214, with longer chains, produces a creamier, denser foam with higher stability but slower initial volume generation. Combining these two surfactants achieves the ideal balance of flash volume and foam density.
Yes, APG0810 is highly tolerant of electrolyte concentrations. Its nonionic structure prevents precipitation or salting out when combined with builders, strong acids, or high levels of salts (e.g., sodium chloride or ammonium sulfate). This makes it an ideal hydrotrope and wetting agent for industrial-strength spray detergents, metal cleaners, and agrochemical formulations.
Our standard export packaging options include 200 kg plastic drums and 1000 kg IBC totes. Custom bulk ISO tank shipping can be arranged for high-volume requirements. Stored under proper conditions in unopened original packaging, APG0810 has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date.
