General Description
Alkyl Polyglucoside (APG) is a biodegradable, non-ionic surfactant derived from plant-based sugars (glucose) and fatty alcohols. Known as a “green” surfactant, it offers excellent surface activity, high wetting ability, and strong foaming, making it ideal for personal care, detergents, and industrial cleaning due to its low toxicity and skin-friendly properties
