C10-16 Alkyl Glucosides

Nonionic surfactants
CAS 110615-47-9
IUPAC: D-Glucopyranose, oligomeric, C10-16-alkyl glycosides

H315 (skin irritation Cat 2) and H318 (serious eye damage) at undiluted ingredient strength. At product concentrations (<5%), product-level classification is typically reduced or absent. No skin sensitization classification.

C10-16 alkyl glucosides are alkyl polyglucoside (APG) surfactants used widely in mild cleaning formulations. The C10-16 chain length range gives broad surface compatibility while retaining the favorable health profile of sugar-based surfactants. At ingredient strength they carry H315/H318 classifications driven by the concentrated form; at consumer dilutions the realized irritation potential is significantly lower.
