Glucopon
BTC Europe GmbH Brand
Glucopon® grades (alkyl polyglucoside) are nonionic surfactants. They are alkyl polyglucoside made from saturated native alcohol and glucose. The used linear alcohol chain varies from C8-10, C12-14 to C8-14. The liquid versions are diluted with water providing an active matter content from 50% to 70%. Non bleached grades are indicated by the index “DK” and are brownish liquids, whereas the bleached grades are colorless to yellowish liquids. Contrary to fatty alcohol ethoxylates their foaming property is much stronger. In addition they have excellent solubilizing and film forming properties. Glucopon® is soluble in alkaline and acidic solutions as well as in potable water (2.7 mmol Ca2+ Ions/l).
