Sources/Uses
Used to formulate fuel additives and blends, fertilizers, detergents, coatings and inks, fine fragrances, cosmetics, personal care products, construction chemicals (i.e. adhesives, paints, and putties), polymer dispersions (aqueous and powder), lubricants, greases, metalworking fluids, washing and cleaning products, plant protection products, metal surface treatment products (including those for galvanizing and electroplating), laboratory chemicals, processing aids, and water treatment chemicals, to make thermoplastics, resins, rubbers, and polymers, in oil field well drilling, foam manufacture (blowing agent), and mining extraction processes; [ECHA REACH Registrations] Permitted for use as an inert ingredient in non-food pesticide products; [EPA] "Alkyl polyglycosides (APGs) are a class of non-ionic surfactants widely used in a variety of household and industrial applications. They are derived from sugars and fatty alcohols; therefore, they are generally favored for their manufacture from renewable resources. The raw materials for industrial manufacture are typically starch and fat, and the final products are typically complex mixtures of compounds with different sugars comprising the hydrophilic end and alkyl groups of variable length comprising the hydrophobic end. When derived from glucose, they are known as alkyl polyglucosides." [Wikipedia]
