Decyl glucoside is a non-ionic surfactant that is used in personal care products because of its mildness and biodegradability. It is utilized in facial cleansers, body washes, and shower gels as it produces a rich, stable lather that helps in proper cleansing. It is utilized in shampoos and hair cleansers as it maintains scalp health without causing irritation or stripping natural oils. It is used in baby care products like shampoos, body washes, and wipes, as it has hypoallergenic and non-irritating properties. It is used in hand soaps and liquid cleansers and also utilized in bubble baths and bath products. It works as an emulsifier in cleansing lotions and cream rinses as it improves product stability and texture. It is also used as an ingredient in formulations designed for sensitive or compromised skin, like those for eczema or dermatitis.

Feedstock for Decyl Glucoside

The manufacturing of decyl glucoside uses corn starch and decanol as the major feedstock. The changes in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect its production.

The sourcing of corn starch is governed by the cost and supply of its raw material, i.e., corn (seasonal changes, crop yields, and global demand impacts corn availability). Its production costs are affected by energy costs ( as energy-intensive wet milling processes are used for its production), labor, and the use of enzymes and processing agents. The fluctuations in its demand in downstream industries like food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, paper and packaging, textiles, adhesives, and biodegradable plastics affect its supply and prices. Also, regulatory compliance for food and pharmaceutical applications needs certifications like organic or non-GMO status, which adds to its procurement costs.

Decanol is another major feedstock used in the production of decyl glucoside. The price and availability of its raw materials like coconut oil, palm oil, etc. (seasonal harvest volumes, geographic sourcing challenges, and instability in global markets affect its sourcing) impact its production costs. Its demand in downstream industries like plasticizers, lubricants, detergents and cleaners, cosmetics and personal care products, pharmaceuticals, surfactants, flavors and fragrances, agricultural chemicals, etc., influences its market supply and prices. Also, compliance with regulations regarding chemical handling, transportation, and sustainability standards affects its procurement strategies.
 

Market Drivers for Decyl Glucoside

The market for decyl glucoside is driven by its usage in personal care. Its utilization of facial cleansers, baby products, and shampoos as an organic and vegan option contributes to its market demand. Its usage in surface cleaners, dishwashing liquids, and laundry detergents fuels its demand. Its applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals contribute to its demand as a sustainable alternative to conventional surfactants.

Its market in North American and European regions is supported by advanced regulatory frameworks, and high consumer awareness of sustainable products drives market growth. Strict environmental and health regulations in these regions promote the adoption of biodegradable and non-toxic surfactants. The Asia Pacific region is fueled by increasing awareness of personal hygiene and government policies that promote environmental sustainability.

The CAPEX for the decyl glucoside production facility includes costs of batch reactors or continuous flow reactors (autoclave reactors), stainless steel batch reactors, and heat exchangers (shell and tube heat exchangers). It also includes vacuum filtration units, distillation columns (packed column distillation units), falling film evaporators, cooling towers, or chillers (e.g., shell and tube chillers). Automatic filling machines (e.g., IMA filling machines), labeling machines, exhaust gas treatment, and membrane filtration units also come under CAPEX.

Its OPEX includes costs of raw materials (coconut oil or palm oil) and salaries for operators and technicians. Energy costs include electricity for running machinery like pumps, mixing tanks, reactors, distillation units, etc., and their routine maintenance is covered under OPEX. It also includes quality control units like Gas Chromatographs (GC) or High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Moisture Analyzers.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Decyl Glucoside manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Decyl Glucoside manufacturing.

• From Corn Starch and Decanol: The feedstock for this process includes corn starch and decanol.

The manufacturing process of decyl glucoside involves a hydrolysis reaction. In this process, corn starch goes through hydrolysis, which leads to the formation of glucose. This glucose is then reacted with decanol, which gives decyl glucoside. The reaction takes place in controlled conditions, and the product is separated and purified to get pure decyl glucoside as the final product.
 

Properties of Decyl Glucoside

Decyl glucoside has the molecular formula C16H32O6 and a molecular weight of around 320–340 g/mol. It is a mild, non-ionic surfactant and appears as a semi-viscous, clear to light-yellow liquid with a characteristic soapy or detergent-like odor. It is highly soluble in water and has a density of about 1.07–1.15 g/ml. The pH of a 10% solution ranges from 11 to 12. It is stable under normal conditions and not classified as flammable or explosive. It functions as a surfactant by reducing surface and interfacial tension, which improves its foaming and cleansing properties. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful as a surfactant in detergents and various personal care products.
