- Applications
- STEOL 4N is useful in a range of products, from shampoos and bubble baths to liquid detergents. It offers excellent flash foaming and emulsification properties. Foam stability in the presence of soap is much improved over other anionics, thus making it useful for bubble baths and cleaning products containing soap as an ingredient.
- STEOL 4N is mild with excellent detergent and foaming properties in hard and soft water and compatible with other anionics, as well as nonionics and alkaline builders. Since it does not contain the ethanol commonly used to solubilize the "high-active", 60%, ether sulfates, it can provide improved viscosity response in formulated products.

Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Normal safety precautions (i.e. safety glasses and gloves) should be employed when handling STEOL 4N. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling material.
- It is recommended that STEOL 4N be stored in sealed containers and kept at temperatures above 45°F (7°C). Avoid overheating or freezing. If material is frozen, mild heat and agitation are recommended to ensure the material is homogeneous before use.
- Bulk Storage Information: Tanks made of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with 382 corrosion liner are recommended. Centrifugal pumps and piping should be 316 stainless steel. Recommended storage for bulk tanks is 90-110°F (32-43°C).
