STEOL CA-460 is a biodegradable linear fatty alcohol ether sulfate. Stepan's continuous SO₃ process minimizes salt and free alcohol content, eliminates the presence of chlorides, permitting more consistent control of viscosity. It is a clear liquid of exceptionally light color and good odor. STEOL CA-460 is mild with excellent detergent and foaming properties in hard and soft water and is compatible with other anionics, nonionics, and alkaline builders. STEOL CA-460 is not recommended in alkaline systems since ammonia is liberated above pH 7.

- Applications
STEOL CA-460 is used in high foaming dishwashing detergents and many industrial cleaners. The physical properties of this surfactant suggest many other applications such as shampoos, liquid detergents, foaming agents, emulsifiers, textile mill kier boiling bleach assistants, and neutral scouring. Foam stability in the presence of soap is much improved over other anionics, therefore STEOL CA-460 is recommended for bubble baths and cleaning products containing soap as an ingredient.

Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
STEOL CA-460 is available in bulk and in 55 gallon drums (net weight 450 lb/204 kg).
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Normal safety precautions (i.e. gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling STEOL CA-460. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling material.
- It is recommended that STEOL CA-460 be stored in sealed containers and kept in a well ventilated, cool, dry area away from sparks, fire, and open flame. Avoid overheating or freezing. Equipment should be grounded when transferring or using material.
- Bulk Storage Information: Tanks made of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with an Atlac 382 corrosion liner, atmospheric storage with a flame arrestor, and fittings electrically grounded are recommended. Centrifugal pumps and piping should be 316 stainless steel. Recommended storage for bulk tanks is 80-90°F (26-32°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.
