BIO-TERGE AS-40 SUPER is an anionic blend developed from sodium olefin sulfonate which is produced by the continuous sulfonation of alpha olefins via Stepan's falling film process. BIO-TERGE AS-40 SUPER is an ideal surfactant for a variety of detergent and home care applications including liquid and cream dishwashing detergents, liquid and powder laundry detergents, and all-purpose cleaning products. It offers the formulator excellent synergistic cleaning properties especially when accompanied with Dodecylbenzene Sulfonic Acid. These synergies allow not only enhancing the final product’s performance but, in some cases, generates formulation cost savings. It is more stable than alcohol sulfates over a broad pH range.

Regulatory & Compliance
- Chemical Inventories
- Clearances
The international inventories (country clearances) of BIO-TERGE AS-40 SUPER can be found in Section 15 of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). It is the responsibility of the formulator to review the chemical control regulations for each country where the end-product is intended to be sold or used.
Safety & Health
- Health Effects
BIO-TERGE AS-40 SUPER is expected to be slightly toxic orally (LD₅₀ > 2000 mg/kg) and cause moderate skin and eye irritation at 10% active.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
BIO-TERGE AS-40 SUPER is available in drums and bulk quantities.
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Normal safety precautions (e.g., the use of gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling BIOTERGE AS-40 SUPER. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling material.
- It is recommended that BIO-TERGE AS-40 SUPER be stored in sealed containers and kept at temperatures above 50°F (10°C). Avoid overheating or freezing. This material can gel and separate if exposed to cooler temperatures. Heat it slowly with mild agitation to insure its homogeneity before use.
- Non-Bulk Storage Recommendations: BIO-TERGE AS-40 SUPER should be stored in closed containers and kept in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). If material is frozen it should be heated gently and stirred to ensure it is homogeneous prior to use.
- Bulk Storage Recommendations: BIO-TERGE AS-40 SUPER should be stored in vessels of 304 stainless steel. Material should be stored between 50 - 95°F (10 - 35°C).
- Workplace Exposure
Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapors and mists. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace practices should be used to control these exposures. See SDS for more information.
