2. Physicochemical Properties

3. Manufacturing Method

Isooctyl Glucoside is produced via glycosylation reaction between glucose (derived from starch crops like corn or potatoes) and isooctanol (a C8 branched-chain fatty alcohol). The process typically involves the following key steps:

1. Pre-reaction Preparation: Glucose and isooctanol are mixed in a specific molar ratio (usually 1:1.2–1:1.5) and heated to 80–100℃.
2. Catalyzed Reaction: An acidic catalyst (e.g., p-toluenesulfonic acid) is added to initiate the glycosylation reaction. During the process, water generated by the reaction is removed in real time via vacuum distillation to drive the reaction toward completion.
3. Purification & Adjustment: The crude product is neutralized with a weak base (e.g., sodium carbonate) to eliminate residual acid, then undergoes de-alcoholization (to recover unreacted isooctanol) and filtration. Finally, deionized water is added to adjust the solid content to 60% (standard commercial concentration), yielding the finished amber liquid product.

4. Application Fields

Its outstanding alkali resistance and low-foaming property make it a core additive in scenarios requiring compatibility with harsh conditions:

• Hard Surface Cleaning: Used in cleaners for metal surfaces, ceramic tiles, and glass. For example, in industrial floor cleaners or kitchen degreasers, it enhances dirt penetration and removal without leaving foam residues.
• Food-Grade Bottle Washing: Ideal for beer bottle, beverage bottle, and food can cleaning. Its low foaming ensures efficient rinsing (reducing water consumption) and compliance with food contact safety standards (e.g., EU Regulation (EC) No. 10/2011).
• Textile Processing: Serves as a mercerizing penetrant in cotton fabric mercerization. It improves the penetration of concentrated sodium hydroxide (NaOH) into fiber pores, ensuring uniform mercerization effects and enhancing fabric luster and strength.
• Metal Cleaning: Added to alkaline metal degreasers (e.g., for automotive parts or mechanical components) to dissolve oil stains and coolants, while its low foaming prevents foam overflow in high-pressure cleaning equipment.

5. Storage & Handling

• Storage Conditions: Store at room temperature (15–30℃) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse. Avoid direct sunlight, extreme heat (temperatures > 40℃), or freezing (temperatures < 0℃)—freezing may cause crystallization, which can be restored by gentle heating (≤ 35℃) and stirring.
• Packaging: Standard commercial packaging includes 25L HDPE plastic buckets, 200L plastic drums, or 1000L IBC totes. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption or contamination.
• Shelf Life: 24 months from the production date when stored in unopened, original packaging.
• Safety Precautions: Non-toxic and low-irritating, but avoid prolonged contact with eyes or skin. In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water for 10–15 minutes; if irritation persists, seek medical attention.
