"Alkyl Polyglucoside"



  • Alkyl Polyglucoside
  • A New Raw Material



  •                    Covered by SurfaTech Patents




2
A Brief History of
Alkyl Polyglucoside
3
A Brief History of
Alkyl Polyglucoside
  • Early 1900’s - Emil Fischer
  • Late 1930’s - 1st patent applied for in   Germany
  • Late 1970’s – 1st product marketed by   Rohm and Haas
  • Early 1980’s – BASF and Seppic follow    with products
  • Late 1980’s – Serious efforts by   A.E.Staley and Henkel


4
A Brief History of
Alkyl Polyglucoside
  • 1989 – Henkel builds the 1st commercial        pilot plant in Crosby TX. Cap.                                     10,000,000 lbs. annually
  • 1992 – Henkel builds another commercial        plant in US, Cap. 50,000,000 lbs        annually
  • 1995 – Henkel builds 3rd commercial plant        in Germany, Cap. 50,000,000 lbs        annually

Current APG
Chemistry

Composition of Commercial APG


7
Positive Attributes of APG
  • Natural derivation and non-petroleum based
  • EO / PO Free
  • Biodegradable
  • Low toxicity
  • Renewable resource
  • Low order of skin and eye irritation
  • High electrolyte tolerance
  • “Eco Friendly”
8
Why Personal Care Formulators Have Been Reluctant To Use APG’s
  • What has kept the APG ‘s from more easily making the move from the industrial arena to the personal care arena?
  • Some reasons may be:
  • Established reputation as an industrial surfactant
  • Like most nonionics, they are poor foamers



9
Why Personal Care Formulators Have Been Reluctant To Use APG’s
  • The more attractive C12 to C16 version is not easily cold mixed and is difficult to handle
  • They are skin de-fatters
  • Formulating with APG’s in complex personal care products requires a long learning curve
  • Some APG’s upon dilution to use levels produce hazy surfactant systems


10
How then can we capture the desirable properties of APG’s and make them more palatable to the cosmetic chemist?
  • By Pre-blending
  • By Derivatizing


11
Pre-blending Has Drawbacks
  • Irritation potential will increase
  • Locked into specific ratios of ingredients
  • Has been done with traditional sulfate & ether sulfate anionics
  • Pre-blends limit the desirable properties that can be obtained due to mixing with less desirable surfactants




12
"This presentation will focus on..."
  • This presentation will focus on derivatization rather then blending
  • The new technology  developed to
  • derivatize APG’s
  • is as follows:
13
New Technology
  • Reaction of the hydroxyl groups of the APG to make:


  • APG-O-CH2CH(OH)CH2-R’


  • A variety of APG derivatives can be made using this method.
14
"The two APG derivatized product..."

  •   The two APG derivatized product groups we will discuss are the quat group and the sulfonate group although the opportunity for several other chemistries exists and has been explored

26
APG Quat
Series Summary
  • Did not diminish the viscosity of a simple shampoo formulation
  • Lowered the irritation potential of a simple shampoo formulation
  • Improved wet comb of shampoo formulations

APG As A Raw Material
  • Employing the newest nonionic (APG) as a raw material rather than as a finished product has created the following:
  • A surfactant platform to rival the traditional lauryl alcohol platforms
  • The APG derivative platform allows the synthesis of a wide variety of surfactant types
    • Quats - Alkoxylates
    • Sulfonates - Betaines
    • Phosphate Esters - Sulfates
    • Amphoterics - Amides
    • Sulfosuccinates - Silicones

APG As A Raw Material
This new platform of surfactants brings to the
innovative formulator a variety of products
from which to select ingredients that are:
  • readily biodegradable
  • from renewable resources
  • low in irritation to eyes and skin
  • ethylene oxide free
  • good consumer perception
  • ecotoxicologically safe
  • shown to have positive effects on hair fibers
