BASF Glucopon 650 EC Surfactant – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of Glucopon 650 EC?

A: Glucopon 650 EC is a non-ionic surfactant based on alkyl polyglucosides, derived from renewable raw materials—specifically fatty alcohols and glucose. It features a balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic character, offering mildness, biodegradability, and compatibility with a broad range of formulation ingredients.


Q2: In which types of formulations is Glucopon 650 EC most commonly used?

A: It is widely employed in mild personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and baby care formulations. Its low irritation potential and foaming efficiency also support use in household cleaning products, particularly those targeting sensitive surfaces or eco-conscious applications.


Q3: How does Glucopon 650 EC perform in hard water and across different pH ranges?

A: Glucopon 650 EC exhibits good stability and performance in moderately hard water and maintains functionality across a wide pH range (approximately pH 4–11), making it suitable for both acidic and alkaline formulations without significant loss of foaming or cleansing properties.


Q4: Is Glucopon 650 EC compatible with common anionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants?

A: Yes, Glucopon 650 EC demonstrates excellent compatibility with anionic surfactants (e.g., SLES, SLS), amphoteric surfactants (e.g., cocamidopropyl betaine), and many cationic conditioners at typical usage levels—enabling synergistic foam boosting and viscosity enhancement in complex blends.
