Alkyl glycoside APG is a recognized "green" functional surfactant with high surface activity, good ecology and compatibility, which has the characteristics of both ordinary non-ionic and anionic surfactants. Compared with other types of surfactants, APG toxicity is very low, belongs to non-toxic or low-toxic products, APG has good biodegradability, can quickly and completely degrade into carbon dioxide, water and organisms, is conducive to environmental protection.

We know that AEO, a non-ionic surfactant of oxyethylene, has quite strong antibacterial activity. The antibacterial activity of alkyl glycosides is stronger than AEO, and its antibacterial activity increases with the increase of alkyl carbon chain.

Because APG has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria, positive bacteria and fungi, APG08-12 has antibacterial activity, and the activity increases with the increase of the number of alkyl carbon atoms, so it can be used as a cleaning agent. The combination of alkyl polyglycosides with Chinese herbal medicine can be used to prepare health care skin care products with anti-itching effect by its excellent compatibility and non-irritating properties. APG derivatives have broad prospects in pharmaceutical industry.

Alkyl glycosides are usually 50% water solution, there are many varieties, the conventional model is 0810, 0814, 1214, 0816, 1216, 1618 and other conventional models, used in the field of industrial cleaning.
