Coco Glucoside Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Coco-Glucoside
- C8-C16 Alkyl Glucoside
Coco glucoside supplier for personal-care, home-care and institutional cleaning formulators in Malaysia. It is a non-ionic alkyl polyglucoside surfactant made by reacting glucose with fatty alcohols of coconut or palm-kernel origin, supplied as a pale yellow to amber viscous aqueous solution. Buyers also know it by the INCI spelling coco-glucoside.
Commercial choice runs across personal-care, home-care and technical grades, and across solutions of different active content. Around 50 percent active is the common trading level, while pH and viscosity move between grades. State the active content, pH window and viscosity the formulation needs rather than the family name alone.
Coco glucoside sits in the middle of the alkyl polyglucoside chain-length range, so it is a separate product from the shorter-chain and longer-chain glucosides sold under their own INCI names. It serves as a primary or co-surfactant in sulphate-free cleansing, dishwash and hard-surface systems, and as a wetting agent in adjuvant work. Quote the INCI name from your specification so the intended glucoside is offered.
Send the required grade, active content, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.

Coco Glucoside grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personal-care grade coco glucoside | pale yellow viscous aqueous solution | around 50 percent active is the common trading level, grade dependent | Mild primary or co-surfactant for shampoo, facial cleanser, body wash and baby or sensitive-skin cleansing where a sulphate-free surfactant system is specified. | Drum or IBC. The pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Home-care and institutional cleaning grade | amber viscous aqueous solution | — | Dishwash, hard-surface and laundry liquids, plus industrial and institutional cleaner blends, including built and high-electrolyte formulations. | Drum or IBC. The pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Technical and adjuvant grade coco glucoside | viscous aqueous solution | — | Agrochemical adjuvant, spray wetting and technical cleaning work where surface wetting and spreading matter more than foam volume. | Drum or IBC. The pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Higher active content coco glucoside solution | viscous aqueous solution | above the common trading level, grade dependent | Concentrate blending and surfactant premixes where the water carried in with the surfactant charge has to be kept low. | Drum or IBC. The pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place and protect from frost and prolonged heat, since both affect the viscosity and clarity of the solution. Handle the concentrate with gloves and eye protection and follow the safety information for the grade quoted.
Common questions about coco glucoside
What is coco glucoside used for?
It works as a mild non-ionic surfactant in shampoos, facial and body cleansers, baby washes, dishwashing and hard-surface liquids, and as a wetting agent in agrochemical adjuvant and technical cleaning work. It is used as a primary surfactant or alongside anionic and amphoteric partners.
What is an alkyl polyglucoside?
It is the surfactant class made by joining glucose to a fatty alcohol, and coco glucoside is one member of it. The members differ by the chain length of the alcohol used, which changes solubility, foam character and how the material behaves in a formulation.
Is coco glucoside the same as lauryl glucoside or caprylyl/capryl glucoside?
No. Each covers a different chain-length range, so each is a different product quoted against its own specification. Send the INCI name printed on the formulation or specification sheet so the right one is offered.
What active content is coco glucoside supplied at?
Commercial solutions commonly sit around 50 percent active, and grades above and below that level are traded. Give the active content your formulation is built on, because dosing, viscosity and comparison between offers all depend on it.
Is coco glucoside suitable for sulphate-free formulations?
It is one of the surfactants formulators reach for when a sulphate-free cleansing base is required, either on its own or with an amphoteric co-surfactant. Foam and viscosity behaviour should still be confirmed in your own trial formulation.
What details are needed for a coco glucoside quotation?
Provide the grade, active content, application, quantity and delivery location, plus any existing specification, preferred pack and document requirements. That lets the quotation answer the whole requirement in one reply.
