Capric Caprlic Glucoside, CCG
APGs (Alkyl polyglucosides ) are nonionic surfactants made from renewable raw materials:-glucose derived from corn, and fatty alcohols from coconut and / or palm kernel oils. They exhibit very good wetting, dispersing, solubulising and emulsification properties. Capric Caprylic Glucoside shows excellent caustic stability, and detergency hence it is ideal to be combined with the likes of Liquid Castile soap, and its hydrotrope properties offers the formulator greater flexibility. Capric Caprylic Glucosides represent a technological advantage for the manufacture of mild detergent products; combined with excellent cleaning performance.
The synergistic effects of alkyl polyglucosides with other commonly used surfactants provides a performance improvement that can be the basis for a reduction of surfactant content while maintaining the same performance level. Our CCG is suitable for inclusion in shampoo and cleanser formulas (even those with a high percentage of surfactants) and formulations based on cationics (such as Conditioners; and other cationic detergents formulations) are very mild, low in toxicity, and readily biodegradable due to their natural chemistry.
Due to its high alkaline tolerance and solubility properties it is really useful to solubilise Essential Oils and Fragrances Oils (EO & FO) used to scent soaps and liquid soaps products ( castile base soaps) whilst maintaining their natural profile. Capric Caprylic Glucosides (CCG) can substitute Polysorbates in many formulations, including room mists and linen sprays, either partially or totally. We suggest to begin with a ratio of 1:1 fragrance: solubiliser, and if necessary increase up to 1:10, to achieve the required result.
