Example of applications
GREENAPG0814 is a mixture of GREENAPG0810 and GREENAPG1214. It combines excellent foaming and hydrotroping properties of GREENAPG0810 and superior emulsifying and thickening properties of GREENAPG1214. As an APG product, GREENAPG0814 is mild and readily biodegradable. It is widely used in the following areas:
personal care products and household detergents: such as shampoo, body-cleanser, cream rinses, hand sanitizer and dishwashing, etc;
hard surface cleaning;
scouring agents in textile industry with alkaline stability and high temperature resistance.
Due to the presence of magnesium oxide (max. 200ppm) and the high pH value, turbidity, which has no negative effects on performance, may occur when the product is stored at room temperature. When the pH value is adjusted to neutral, its turbidity disappears.
There may be sedimentation depending on storage time. In this case, the product should be heated and stirred until uniform before use.
