In the series of alkyl glycosides, alkyl glycosides as a non-ionic surfactant are particularly effective in removing oily dirt. Alkyl polyglycosides have the following advantages when used in laundry detergent
It can produce rich and delicate bubbles. Because of these delicate bubbles, the friction of clothing, especially fine clothing, such as wool and silk products in washing machine, is reduced, which is beneficial to fabric protection.
② Suitable for cold water washing.
③ It reduces the irritancy of detergent. The washing agent with alkyl glycosides can effectively remove soil and oil stains, and has softness, antistatic and shrinkable properties, and can be used normally in hard water.
Alkyl polyglycosides can be used in many industries and fields, such as washing industry, cosmetic industry, food processing industry, textile printing and dyeing, pesticide and pharmaceutical industry. As raw materials for non-ionic neutral detergent, alkyl polyglycosides have broad application prospects and can be used as high-grade laundry detergent. In addition, alkyl glycosides have broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against gram negative bacteria, gram positive bacteria and fungi. Therefore, it has more advantages as tableware cleaner, shampoo, skin cleaner and toilet cleaner. Alkyl glycosides can also be used as emulsifier, wetting agent, foaming agent, thickener, dispersant and dustproof agent. In recent years, it has achieved good application effect in pesticide emulsifier.
Surfactants for cosmetics are newly developed in recent years. They have higher and stricter requirements for products, such as anti-aging, skin moisturizing, wrinkle removing, whitening, etc. The active ingredients of cosmetics affect the metabolism of the body after being absorbed by the skin, so as to achieve real beauty. The effect should be felt or seen. Sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate (PCA) is a natural moisturizing factor in cosmetics, which has anti-aging and anti wrinkle effects. Therefore, PCA is widely used in high-grade cosmetics. Surfactant as emulsifier is very important in emulsion application of cosmetics, mainly concentrated on non-ionic surfactant and polymer emulsifier. Cosmetic emulsion includes double emulsion. W/O, O/W, liquid crystal phase, multiple emulsion; W/O/W, O/W/O, microemulsion and so on. The main products are facial cleanser, moisturizer, cleanser, etc. New products will come out in this field.
