pH Value: 11.5 - 12.5.
Active Substance Content: Usually 50% - 52% (wt%).
Environmental Friendliness: It is a new - generation of environmentally - friendly green surfactants, which can be completely biodegraded, non - toxic and harmless.
Good Compatibility: It can be compounded with various ionic and non - ionic surfactants to produce a synergistic effect.
Excellent Foaming Property: It has rich and fine foam, which is suitable for application scenarios requiring rich foam.
Good Solubility: It is resistant to strong alkalis and electrolytes, and has good thickening ability.
Good Skin Compatibility: It can significantly improve the mildness of the formula and is non - irritating to the skin.
Usage
Personal Care Products: It is widely used in shampoo, shower gel, facial cleanser and other products. It can be used alone or compounded with other glucosides to enhance foam and skin - conditioning properties. It can help clean hair without stripping hair, and is very suitable for sensitive skin care products. Generally, 10% - 20% lauryl glucoside can be used in facial cleansers, 15% - 30% in shampoos and body washes, and the maximum usage in any product is 40%.
Organic Synthesis: It can react with maleic anhydride and then be sulfonated with sodium sulfite to synthesize AG - SS, serving as a raw material for organic synthesis.
Cement Industry: It can be used as a cement air - entraining agent to accelerate the hydration reaction, make the small air holes in the cement paste evenly distributed, and greatly improve the compressive strength of the cement paste.
Packaging, Storage and Transportation
Packaging: Usually packed in 220 - kg plastic drums2. There are also other packaging specifications, and small - package specifications such as 500 g are also available3.
Storage: It should be stored in a cool, ventilated and dry warehouse, away from fire sources and heat sources, and avoid direct sunlight and humid environment. It is recommended to store it in a sealed, dark, dry and cool place.
Transportation: During transportation, it should be protected from rain, sunlight and high temperature, and ensure that the packaging is intact to avoid leakage and pollution.
