laundry detergent raw materials - APG0810 is a nonionic surfactant. Due to it is made from natural raw materials; APG0810 is very mild and readily biodegradable. The product is generally used as a secondary surfactant for personal care cleansing products, because of its excellent mildness, foaming performance and ability to reduce irritation. Because it also exhibits excellent caustic stability and solubility in highly concentrated salt, alkali and surfactant solution, APG0810 can be used for caustic, neutral and acidic hard surface cleaning for the household and institutional sector. The turbidity of the product is attributable to the combination of its magnesium oxide content (400ppm magnesium) and its pH value. The turbidity has no negative effects on the products and disappears when the pH is adjusted to below 9.

APG0810 is a nonionic surfactant which is made from natural raw materials, natural alcohols and glucose derived from plants. Its superior properties include: detergency, wetting, dispersing and surface tension reduction, compatibility, especially foaming property. It also exhibits excellent alkaline and electrolyte resistance and can solubilize other ingredients.
APG0810 is low toxic, low irritating to skin and readily biodegradable. So it can be widely used in personal care products and household detergents: day cream, night cream, body cream & lotion, shampoo and hand cream, etc.
APG0810 is also a good choice for industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaners, especially for hard surface cleaning and processing for its high alkaline stability and hydrotroping ability.
APG0810 can be formulated in bubble water as a foam agent.
Due to the presence of magnesium oxide (max. 100ppm) and the high pH value, turbidity, which has no negative effects on performance, may occur when the product is stored at room temperature. When the pH value is adjusted to neutral, its turbidity disappears.
There may be sedimentation depending on storage time. In this case, the product should be heated and stirred until uniform before use.
