Glucodet™ GL-21 is a preservative-free, nonionic solution of decyl octyl polyglucosides. It can be used as the primary surfactant or used with other surfactants to improve foam, solubilization or stability in a wide variety of caustic, neutral or acidic formulations. It is self-preserved due to the high pH level which causes a hazy appearance. This haziness will disappear once neutralized. If the final formulation has a neutral pH it should be preserved in a suitable way. Glucodet™ GL-21 is made from renewable raw materials and is readily biodegradable. It is very mild and low in toxicity.

Functions: Surfactant, Surfactant (Nonionic)

Labeling Claims: Biodegradable, From Renewable Resources, Not Listed In California Proposition 65, Plant-Based, Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)-free, Preservative-free
