ALPHA-STEP® PC-48 is an anionic surfactant derived from oleochemicals and its hydrophobic chain distribution, which ranges from C12 to C18, allows for excellent detergency, foaming and mildness properties in a wide variety of household, industrial and personal care applications. ALPHA-STEP® PC-48 is appropriate when formulating high foaming, high active personal care products such as body wash. ALPHA-STEP® PC-48 has a very low viscosity response and is very good at clarifying formulas with high levels of electrolytes. This versatile surfactant also functions well in hard water, having favorable hard water tolerance and lime soap dispersing ability. It is a readily soluble liquid that can be easily formulated between a pH of 4 to 9. Applications include household and industrial liquid laundry, hand dishwash, hard surface cleaners, hand soaps, specialty foam applications, body washes and facial cleansers. It has an appearance of a clear yellow liquid, and is biodegradable. view less

STEOL® CS-330 is a sodium lauryl ether sulfate derived from fatty alcohols, ethoxylated to an average of 3 moles, and sulfated. It offers excellent skin compatibility, along with good foam and viscosity characteristics, all important considerations in shampoo, hand soap, and bath product formulations. STEOL® CS-330 based products can be readily thickened with salts, betaines, and amides, with the latter two also offering foam enrichment. By modifying the additive levels, formulas exhibiting a variety of performance and physical attributes can be developed. Since this product is compatible with commonly used opacifiers and pearlizing agents, the formulator is afforded flexibility in developing the desired product appearance. view less
