GlucoSpike®
- Chemical Family
- Chemical Mixtures & Blends
GlucoSpike® is an EPA Safer Choice and CleanGredients listed biosurfactant synergist that reduces the cost and increases the performance of surfactants. It is a raw ingredient meant for cleaning formulations. Formulations using GlucoSpike™ have shown improved cleaning performance, superior wetting, and increased odor control in finished formulations. This product integrates nicely with APGs (alkyl poly glucoside) surfactants as well as other surfactants.

- Usage
A true surfactant synergist or co-surfactant, Glucospike® is designed to be used with surfactants in cleaning formulations and agriculture adjuvants. It consists of yeast metabolites engineered to enhance surfactant performance through modification of micelle structures. Some of the primary benefits of using GlucosSpike® in formations are: increased performance, increased grease carrying capacity, lower toxicity/no 1,4 dioxane, lower cost compared to traditional surfactants. GlucoSpike® is US EPA Safer Choice approved, registered on the CleanGredients list, and also listed with ChemSpec.

- HIGHLIGHTS
GlucoSpike® is designed to reduce the amount of surfactant needed in formulations, while maintaining equal or better performance. GlucoSpike® stabilizes micelle formation, causing surfactants to micellize at lower concentrations. GlucoSpike® is compatible with nonionic, anionic, amphoteric, cationic, and biosurfactants. GlucoSpike® is derived from yeast using a patented heat shock fermentation process. The yeast are provided specific inputs that induce their metabolism to produce co-surfactants as outputs. These co-surfactants are then harvested and stabilized, producing GlucoSpike®.
