D-Glucopyranose, Oligomers, Decyl Octyl Glycosides - 68515-73-1

Key Functions: Cosmetics & Personal Care

D-Glucopyranose, oligomers, decyl octyl glycosides is an alkyl polyglycoside obtained by the condensation reaction of octyl and decyl alcohols with a cyclic form of glucose (D-glucopyranose) in the presence of an acid catalyst. The condensation product is a mixture with unknown or variable composition, and the average degree of polymerization ranges from 1 to 3 glucose units. D-Glucopyranose, oligomers, decyl octyl glycosides is a solid at room temperature but is marketed as an aqueous solution with average water content of 24 – 50%. It is used mainly in cosmetic formulations as a cleansing agent, a foaming agent, and a surfactant. D-Glucopyranose, oligomers, decyl octyl glycosides is highly water soluble, non-volatile, non-reactive and non-flammable.
