BASF is celebrating the 25th anniversary of producing alkyl polyglycosides (APGs) at the production site in Düsseldorf-Holthausen.
Derived from renewable starch and vegetal oils, APGs are all-round surfactants that offer mildness and foam quality for a variety of formulation concepts in personal care and home care as well as in industrial applications. Since its inauguration in April 1995 the plant has managed to produce more than one million tons of APG. Initially built and operated by Henkel KGaA, the ownership of the plant switched to Cognis in 2000, which was acquired by BASF in 2011.
BASF offers a range of APGs for different applications, including its 100% plant-based line, Plantacare; Glucopon types for performance-related problems in the field of homecare and industrial & institutional cleaning; Agnique products to advance the performance of agrochemical formulations; and Disponsil products which can be used as emulsifiers in emulsion polymerization processes.
