AGNIQUE PG 8102
AGNIQUE PG 8102 gives agrochemical formulations a balanced surfactant effect by combining wetting, spreading, and compatibility in one liquid ingredient.
AGNIQUE PG 8102's C8 alkyl polyglucoside structure helps the formulation interact more efficiently with plant surfaces while remaining easy to mix in water-based systems.
AGNIQUE PG 8102 is a practical choice when a product needs reliable surface performance, good formulation stability, and controlled foam during processing or application.

AGNIQUE PG 8102 is a C8 alkyl polyglucoside-based nonionic surfactant supplied as a yellow liquid with approximately 62% active matter.
AGNIQUE PG 8102 belongs to the alkyl polyglucoside group, which is known for plant-derived surfactant chemistry, good biodegradability, and strong compatibility with aqueous formulation systems.
In agrochemical formulations, AGNIQUE PG 8102 supports wetting, spreading, dispersion, and adjuvant performance, especially in salt-containing or electrolyte-rich systems.
AGNIQUE PG 8102's relatively low viscosity compared with some other APG grades makes it easier to handle, pump, mix, and incorporate into liquid formulations.
AGNIQUE PG 8102 is also noted for a more controlled foam profile, making it suitable when effective surface activity is needed without excessive foam formation during production or application.
Applications of AGNIQUE PG 8102:
AGNIQUE PG 8102 is used in agrochemical formulations as a nonionic wetting agent, dispersing aid, and formulation-support surfactant.
AGNIQUE PG 8102 is especially suitable for aqueous pesticide, herbicide, and adjuvant systems where surface spreading, leaf wetting, and compatibility with salts or electrolytes are important.
AGNIQUE PG 8102's C8 alkyl polyglucoside structure provides strong surface activity with easier handling and more moderate foam behavior than some higher-foaming APG grades.
AGNIQUE PG 8102 can also be used in formulations that require bio-based surfactant chemistry, good pH stability, and reliable performance in water-based agricultural mixtures.
AGNIQUE PG 8102 is useful for improving the uniform distribution of active ingredients and supporting stable, practical liquid formulations during mixing, storage, and application.
