Decyl glucoside Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Triton^??CG-110 can be used:

• In the preparation of multilamellar vesicles as carriers for tretinoins and retinoids.
• In the study of mineralization, leaching, and adsorption of glyphosate herbicide in the soil.

Uses

Decyl Glucoside is a nonionic surfactant used as a foamer, detergent, conditioner or emulsifier. It can be used as a base surfactant or co-surfactant in detergents. It has excellent foaming ability and good skin compatibility. It can be combined with other glucosides using to enhance foaming and skin conditioning properties. It can also be utilised in ionic formulations in order to increase foam depth and emulsification properties. Commonly used in shampoos and body washes.

General Description

This product is a biodegradable surfactant and is aligned with the 10^th principle of Green Chemistry "Design for Degradation".

Contact allergens

Decyl glucoside or decyl d-glucoside, also named decylbeta- d-glucopyranoside, belongs to the alkyl glucosides family and is obtained by condensation of the fatty alcohol decyl alcohol and a d-glucose polymer. This nonionic surfactant and cleansing agent has been widely used for several years, due to its foaming power and good tolerance in rinse-off products such as shampoos, hair dyes and colors, and soaps. Decyl glucoside is also employed in leave-on products such as no-rinsing cleansing milks, lotions, and several sunscreen agents and is contained as a stabilizing surfactant of organic microparticles in sunscreen agent Tinosorb? M.

Synthesis

Decyl glucosides (DGs) were prepared from D-glucose with 1-decanol by direct glucosidation over the zeolite catalysts. D-glucose (2.5 g) and 1-decanol (50 mL) were introduced as the reactants. The reactants were put into the reactor with the zeolite catalyst. The reaction was carried out directly in the reactor, stirring at 130 ℃[1].
