Cellulose is a natural linear polysaccharide composed of glucose units linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. It is an important structural component of plant cell walls. Native cellulose contains a large number of hydroxyl groups along its molecular chains. These chains readily form hydrogen bonds ...
In ingredient lists for facial cleansers, body washes, shampoos, hand washes, dishwashing liquids, and hard-surface cleaners, names such as Decyl Glucoside, Lauryl Glucoside, Coco-Glucoside, and Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside are often seen. Most of these belong to the alkyl glucoside class of ...
The “betaine” discussed in this article specifically refers to cocamidopropyl betaine, a widely used ingredient in daily chemical cleansing formulations. Its international abbreviation is CAPB, while in domestic supply channels it is also often abbreviated as CAB. This article focuses on ...
In the selection and production use of raw materials for household and personal care products, names such as sodium hydroxide flakes, granular sodium hydroxide, caustic soda, lye, and caustic alkali often appear together. Caustic soda, lye, and caustic alkali usually refer to sodium hydroxide, ...
In personal care formulations, silicone fluids are commonly used in skin care, hair care, sun care, color cosmetics, and cleansing products. They are mainly used to improve application properties such as spreading, lubrication, smoothness, water resistance, gloss, and conditioning. These effects ...
In China’s personal care, home care, and detergent raw material sector, 6501 usually refers to Cocamide DEA, also commonly called CDEA or coconut fatty acid diethanolamide. In terms of ingredient classification, it is a nonionic surfactant. It is commonly used in cleaning products such as ...
In household and personal-care cleaning products, “degreasing” does not simply mean dissolving oily soils. Instead, surfactants change the interfacial relationships among oil, water, and the surface being cleaned. As a result, oily soils originally attached to the surface can be wetted, ...
Xanthan gum is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide obtained through fermentation by microorganisms of the genus Xanthomonas. In personal care formulations, it is mainly used as a thickener, suspension stabilizer, auxiliary emulsion stabilizer, and rheology modifier. The value of xanthan gum ...
The soils encountered by cleaning products are not all the same. Water-soluble stains, limescale, greasy soils, adhesive residues, resins, and waxy residues require different solvents and formulation systems. To determine whether a naturally derived solvent is suitable for a cleaning product, ...
