Title: Alkyl Polyglycoside?
Post by: poetry on November 29, 2010, 03:39:48 PM

Do you know where I could purchase several ounces of alkyl polyglycosides?  I'm creating a mixture with propylene glycol and an oil, and I'm trying to find an eco-friendly surfactant that will stabilize them.

Would a simple surfactant like Tween 80 do the job?

Thanks chonfusion for that recommendation.  I just ordered Polysorbate 80.  I'll see how it goes.
