- STEOL CS-170 UB provides improved mildness over sodium lauryl sulfate without sacrificing critical performance attributes, such as foaming and viscosity response. Its low irritation properties make it ideal for mild cleansing products.
- STEOL CS-170 UB can be readily formulated into shampoos, bath products, hand soaps, and detergents offering the required physical properties and performance attributes.
- Products based on STEOL CS-170 UB can be thickened with salts, betaines, or amides, with the latter two also serving to enrich the foam. A variety of performance and physical attributes can be obtained simply by adjusting the amount of additive incorporated into a formula. Since STEOL CS- 170 UB is compatible with commonly used opacifying and pearlizing agents, the formulator is afforded flexibility in developing the desired product appearance.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Standard Packaging
STEOL CS-170 UB is available in bulk, 55 gallon drums (net weight 450lb/ 204kg) and available in 275 gallon totes (net weight 2200lb/998 kg).
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Normal safety precautions (i.e. gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when STEOL CS-Handling170 UB. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling product.
- The recommended dilution procedure for STEOL CS-170 UB is to heat the precalculated water charge to 30-40C (86-104°F). While agitating, add the STEOL CS-170 UB at such a rate as to allow the product to dissolve without forming large gel masses. If excessive foam is generated, decrease agitation. All inorganic salts should be added once a clear solution of desired activity has been obtained.
- It is recommended that STEOL CS-170 UB be stored in sealed containers and kept at temperatures below 43°C (110°F). Avoid overheating or freezing. If material is frozen, heat mildly using warm water tracing.
- Bulk Storage Information: Tanks, pumps, pipes and heat exchangers made of 316 stainless steel are recommended. Rotary piston type (positive displacement only) pumps are recommended.
- Recommended storage temperature for bulk tanks is 32-43°C (90-110°F).
- Stepan’s recommended re-test period for this product is 1 year (12 months) from the date of manufacture. After 1 year, we recommend that the customer re-analyze to assure the product is within specification.
- Workplace Exposure
Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapor and mists. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace practices should be used to control these exposures.
