    Hi,
    We are using Euperlan PK 1200 in our shampoo formulations but our supplier is telling us there are big delays to get it. We are located un Canada. Do you have US supliers Who could ship to Canada or an alternative ingredient to suggest?
    Thanks!

    @Laurentia2021have you tried a DIY version? You can just add EGDS and a little APG to your batch (skip the gylcerin - not needed) at 65 - 70C and there you are. If you must have the RT drop-in version, at 75C mix APG:EGDS:glycerin at approximate ratio 5:4:1in the lab, then tweak as desired. The glycerin merely thins the mixture to a pumpable viscosity.

    @chemicalmatt you mean 50% APG which is 25% active surfactant?

    Hi guys! I still got the same problem… I bought Cutina AGS from BASF and I have glycerin. I know for sure it’s 1.6% glycerin in the mixture but couldn’t know the % of the Glycol Distearate…  What quantity of Cutina should I use to replace the Euperlan? It contains also fatty acid… Any Idea?

    @Laurentia2021 look at the composition hints in the attached file, try contacting BASF directly, Brenntag lately having a lot of issues

    Thanks for the reply singhc10! I did it but these are range values… I got a chromatography but the only thing it could find is the glycerin concentration… The benchmark was Cutina AGS.

    @singhc10 i thought Glucoside hydrolysis in pH below 5 but this product has pH 3-4. What am i messing?

    Do you if I add some stearic acid, say 5% plus 1.5% glycerin, about 2.5% Glycol Distearate and Decyl Glocuside to 100% could do the job?
