Description: Functionalized Alkyl Polyglucoside

Patent #: Patent Pending

Regulatory: US (TSCA), EU (REACH), Canada (NDSL), Australia (AICS)

Suga®Boost 050 is a naturally-derived performance surfactant suitable for laundry and naturally-based exterior cleaner formulations. Cleaning performance is higher than traditional surfactants such as DDBSA, SLES, and NP-9 in removing food soils, animal grease, and protein soil and meets demands for high-performance green cleaning formulations. Suga®Boost 050 is 1,4-Dioxane-free.

Suga®Boost 050 has mild characteristics in comparison to regulated surfactants such as sulfates, alcohol alkoxylates, Coco DEA, and betaines.

Suga®Boost 050 is useful in formulations for laundry and naturally-based exterior cleaners.

Suga®Boost 050 is stable in hydrogen peroxide.

 

Biodegradation

All substances are readily biodegradable per OECD 301 methods. This product meets the criteria for a surfactant under the EU Detergents Regulation (EC) 648/2004.

 

NGO Certifications

  • DfE Approved (CleanGredients)

The Safer Choice Program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency certified Suga®Boost 050 as Acceptable for use in Safer Choice-certified products and for listing on CleanGredients as a surfactant.

Suga®Boost 050 also meets criteria for direct release under EPA’s Safer Choice Standard and the use limit for this ingredient no longer applies.

  • Direct release products are approved in outdoor applications that are likely to bypass sewage treatment . Products include home car washes, cleaners for use in power washers, boat cleaners, drilling muds, graffiti removers, fleet disinfectants, window cleaners, and the like.
