Characteristics and Advantages
- Non-toxic and Harmless: Non-toxic, harmless, non-irritating, and has low irritation to skin and eyes.
- Biodegradability: Biodegrades quickly and completely, without causing pollution to the environment.
- Compatibility: Can be compounded with various surfactants, showing obvious synergistic effects.
Production Methods
- Direct Glycosidation Method: Using glucose and decanol as raw materials, decyl glucoside is directly produced under the action of a catalyst. The reaction is usually carried out under vacuum conditions. After the reaction, unreacted decanol needs to be removed and decolorization treatment is performed.
- Transglycosidation Method: First, glucose reacts with short-carbon-chain alcohols (C2-C4) to form short-carbon-chain glucosides, which then undergo a glycoside transfer reaction with decanol to produce long-carbon-chain decyl glucoside. This method can obtain products with a relatively high degree of polymerization.
Application Fields
- Cosmetics: Used as an emulsifier, humectant, thickener, etc., in the production of shampoos, skin care lotions, sunscreen lotions, etc.
- Industrial Cleaning: Applied in fields such as metal cleaning, industrial bottle washing, and transportation tool cleaning.
- Biochemical Industry: Has a good effect in the biochemical field of solubilization and reconstitution of membrane proteins, and can also be used for the stabilization of proteins.
- Food Additives: Serves as a food emulsifier, which can improve the taste and texture of food.
- Plastic and Building Material Additives: Plays a role in stabilization and flame retardancy in plastic products, and is used as an air-entraining agent in concrete.
- Pesticide Synergist: Has a significant synergistic effect on herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides.
