STEPANATE AXS is used in liquid detergent formulations as a solubilizer, coupling agent and cloud point depressant. The hydrotropic or solubilizing property of STEPANATE AXS allows materials to be incorporated in formulations that normally are incompatible. STEPANATE AXS is also useful in lowering the cloud point or crystallization temperature of complex blends, particularly in complex light duty formulations. STEPANATE AXS has a lower crystallization point than STEPANATE SXS so it can be stored at lower temperatures without separation. STEPANATE AXS contains no alcohol so it will not decrease the flash point of your formulation. STEPANATE AXS liberates ammonia in alkaline systems, and, therefore, should be used in neutral or low pH formulations. STEPANATE AXS is commonly used as a coupling agent for surfactants in phosphate and silicate solutions. The coupling ability of STEPANATE AXS makes it possible to formulate detergents containing high percentages of inorganic builders. Heavy duty cleaners, wax strippers and complex dishwashing detergents can also be prepared without the use of organic solvents. It is also used as a non-caking agent in spray dried detergents.

Safety & Health
- Toxicity
STEPANATE AXS is slightly toxic orally (LD50>2.1 g/kg); it causes mild and transient eye irritation and mild skin irritation.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
STEPANATE AXS is available in drums (475 lb, 215.5 kg) and in bulk quantities.
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Normal safety precautions (i.e. gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling STEPANATE AXS. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling material. It is recommended that STEPANATE AXS be stored in closed containers and kept in a cool, dry place. Liquipak or HDPE plastic drums are recommended for storage of STEPANATE AXS. If material is frozen it should be heated gently and stirred to ensure it is homogeneous before use
Bulk Storage Information
STEPANATE AXS should be stored in 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion liner. Mild agitation is recommended while storing to maintain homogeneity. Material should be stored between 75 - 105°F. An internal hairpin coil of 316 stainless steel with low pressure steam (under 50 psig) should be used if heating is required. Pumps, pipes and transfer lines should be 316 stainless steel.
