A new type of green surfactant——Alkyl polyglycoside

Alkyl polyglycoside (APG)is made from re newable natural materials. As a Green surfactant, it is not irritative or poisonous, and could be biodegraded completely. In this paper, the structures are analyzed, physical properties, dissolubility, HLB values, moisty are absorption, viscosity and detergency of APG and introduce its applications in daily life , biochemistry, industry and agriculture. It is concluded that making full use of the resources for research and development will certainly play a positive role in the economic constructions of our country.
