ALPHA-STEP BSS-45 can be used in personal care products, especially in toilet combo soap bars. In toilet combo soap bars, ALPHA-STEP BSS-45 improves many characteristics such as: skin feel, foaming, mildness, marring, sloughing, wear rate, and grit. ALPHA-STEP BSS-45 provides hydrotropic properties, which can be advantageous in the processing of toilet soap bars. The exceptionally low viscosity soap slurry produced with sulfonated methyl ester (SME) can result in enhanced mixing, increased heat transfer and improvement in the overall drying process.

Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Normal safety precautions (i.e. gloves and safety goggles) should be employed with handling ALPHA- STEP BSS-45. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. It is recommended that ALPHA-STEP BSS-45 be stored in sealed containers, kept in a well ventilated, cool, dry area away from sparks, fire open flames. Avoid over heating or freezing. If frozen, mild heat and agitation are recommended to ensure the material is homogenous before use. Bulk storage information: Tanks made of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with corrosion liners, atmospheric storage with a flame arrestor, and fittings electrically grounded are recommended. Positive displacement pumps and piping should be 316 stainless steel. Recommended storage temperature for bulk tank is 69- 110°F. Equipment should be grounded when transferring or using material.
