OECD 404 comparison
APG showed lower irritation in the comparison.
Flexible APG Foam Control
Multiple APG options to meet different formulation needs, enabling adjustable foam strength and stability.
Blend synergy
APG improved detergency with LAS, AES, FAS and CAB; the strongest synergy in the comparison was with CAB.
Wetting and spreading
C8-C10 grades are positioned for fast wetting and spreading.
Foam and cleaning
C12-C14 grades are positioned for rich, stable foam, oil removal and viscosity support.
Emulsification and dispersion
APG supports emulsification and soil dispersion in cleaning systems.
Surfactant blends
APG is used with anionic and amphoteric surfactants to improve blend performance.
Application and Processing Guide
Selecting and formulating with APG
Select the product by INCI, carbon chain, active matter and intended application.
- Choose the application Start with personal care or home care and I&I.
- Match the INCI and chain length Choose the INCI and carbon-chain range for the required wetting, foam and cleaning profile.
- Set the formulation basis Use the selected grade's active matter, pH range and preservative system to define the batch calculation.
- Test the finished formula Evaluate foam, viscosity, cleaning, wetting, compatibility and stability.
Applications
Facial Cleansers
Body Wash and Bubble Bath
Shampoo and Rinse-Off Care
Cosmetic Emulsions
Dish and Laundry Detergents
Textile Adjuvants
Carpet Spot Removers
Hard Surface Cleaners
Car Wash
I&I Cleaners
AC110, AC611L, AC-PO65 and AC-M68 SV are blends. Use the full INCI composition for the selected product.
Preparing an APG Grade Comparison
Record the intended application, target active surfactant content, pH, water hardness and required foam profile when comparing APG grades. Include the product code and full INCI so a single APG grade can be distinguished from a multi-component blend.
If you are converting an as-supplied addition into active surfactant content, use the APG concentration calculation guide. For a practical evaluation sequence, see comparing APG surfactants in application trials.
What does an APG 50% specification tell you?
A percentage alone does not identify an APG grade or its INCI composition. When comparing AC0810 50% with another grade, check whether the quoted value is active matter or dry matter and whether the test methods match. Do not treat a solids result as an interchangeable active-surfactant result.
Matching an APG sample to a supply specification
Keep the same product code, full INCI and specification revision on the sample request and quotation. Compare the sample's COA with that specification, including the stated measurement conditions. For a supply enquiry, include the required quantity, packaging and destination alongside the application; these details allow the commercial terms to be checked for the selected grade.

FAQ
APG Series FAQ
Grade selection depends on INCI, carbon chain, active matter and application.
What is APG Series?
APG Series is ANECO's range of Alkyl Polyglucoside surfactants and related blends for personal care, home care and I&I applications.
How do AC1200, AC2000 and AC818 differ?
AC1200 is Lauryl Glucoside with a C12-C14 carbon-chain range. AC2000 is Decyl Glucoside with a C8-C14 range, while AC818 is Coco-Glucoside with a C8-C14 range. Match the product code and INCI first, then compare the selected grades using their current specifications and the same test conditions.
What is the difference between AC0810 50% and AC0810 60%?
Both grades are Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside with a C8-C10 carbon-chain range, but they have different concentration specifications. Before calculating an addition rate, confirm whether the percentage is measured as active matter or dry matter. A solids result should not be used as an active-surfactant value without confirmation.
Can APG viscosity values be compared directly?
Compare viscosity values only when the measurement temperature, method and sample preparation match. A result measured at 20 degrees C is not directly comparable with one measured at 40 degrees C. Use the current grade specification and batch COA to check the measurement conditions before choosing a product.
Are AC-PO65 and AC-M68 SV single APG grades?
No. AC-PO65 combines Coco-Glucoside and Glyceryl Oleate; AC-M68 SV combines Cetearyl Glucoside and Cetearyl Alcohol. AC110 and AC611L are also multi-component systems. Select these products using their full INCI composition and intended application rather than treating them as a single APG grade.
What performance data are available?
Technical data include OECD 301D biodegradation, an OECD 404 irritation comparison, foaming by carbon-chain length, emulsification and surfactant-blend performance.
How should APG Series products be added?
Set the process from the selected grade's active matter, pH range and preservative system, then verify performance in the finished formula.
How does carbon-chain selection affect performance?
The formulation guide positions C8-C10 grades for fast wetting and spreading, and C12-C14 grades for rich, stable foam, oil removal and viscosity support. The separate foaming comparison shows the strongest foaming performance at about C10.
What packaging is available?
APG products are available in 220 kg drums, 1,100 kg IBCs and ISO tank supply.
Which supporting declarations are available?
Supporting documents cover non-animal origin, non-nanomaterial status, SVHC, CMR, California Proposition 65, BSE/TSE, Halal, Kosher, Vegan, regulatory compliance and country of origin.
What documents are available?
TDS, SDS/MSDS, specification, COA, composition breakdown, process flow chart, formulation guidelines, performance files and regulatory declarations are available from ANECO.
