Alkyl polyglycosides (APGs) are compounds synthesised from glucose and fatty alcohols, nonionic surfactants.

The main difference between alkyl polyglycoside 0810 and 1214 lies in their molecular structure and performance characteristics:

APG0810 is more permeable and is usually used more in industrial applications.
APG1214, in contrast, is milder and is more often used in household detergents.

In addition, APG0810 has between 8 and 10 carbon atoms in its molecular structure, whereas APG1214 may contain more carbon atoms in its molecular structure, resulting in a relatively higher viscosity.

APG0810 has better foaming performance in detergent system.
APG1214 can better improve the softness of laundry after washing, especially cotton fabrics.

They have the following performance characteristics:

• Good compounding performance, able to compound with various ionic and non-ionic surfactants to produce synergistic effect.
• Good foaming property, rich and delicate foam.
• Good solubility, resistant to strong alkalis and electrolytes.
• Thickening ability, good compatibility with skin, can significantly improve the mildness of the formulation.
• Non-toxic, non-irritating and readily biodegradable.
