Alias: Alkyl Polyglucoside 0814; C8–C14 APG; APG 0814; Green surfactant 0814
Molecular formula:C18H36O6
1.Product Property
APG0814 is a clear, colourless to light-yellow liquid at 25 °C, with a mild odour and 50 % active matter. It is readily biodegradable, non-toxic, non-irritating to skin and eyes, and stable across pH 6–12. The product tolerates high electrolyte and hard-water levels, exhibits low foam, and maintains excellent wetting, detergency and emulsifying power at both low and elevated temperatures.

3.Application Scope and Usage
APG0814 is a mild, eco-friendly surfactant for personal-care products (shampoos, baby washes, facial cleansers) providing rich, fine foam and skin hydration. In household detergents it boosts degreasing and is compatible with enzymes. It serves as a low-foam wetting agent in textile scouring, mercerising and dyeing, and as an emulsifier in agrochemical formulations. Industrial uses include alkaline hard-surface cleaners, concrete air-entraining agents, and enhanced oil-recovery formulations. Typical dosage: 3–10 % in cleansers, 0.5–3 % in textile baths.
4.Package and Storage
APG0814 is supplied in 200 kg epoxy-lined steel drums (Ø 585 × 890 mm) or 50 kg HDPE drums (Ø 380 × 480 mm) with sealed screw caps. Store in a dry, ventilated warehouse at 5–35 °C, away from sunlight and frost. Avoid contamination with strong acids or oxidizers. Shelf life is 24 months from date of manufacture when kept in original, unopened containers.
