STEPANATE SCS is used in liquid detergent formulations as a solubilizer, coupling agent and cloud point depressant. The hydrotropic or solubilizing property of STEPANATE SCS allows materials to be incorporated in formulations that normally are incompatible. STEPANATE SCS is also useful in lowering the cloud point or crystallization temperature of complex blends. STEPANATE SCS contains no alcohol so it will not decrease the flash point of your formulation. STEPANATE SCS is commonly used as a coupling agent for surfactants in phosphate and silicate solutions. The coupling ability of STEPANATE SCS 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.

Packaging & Availability
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Normal safety precautions (i.e. gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling Handling STEPANATE SCS. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling material. It is recommended that STEPANATE SCS be stored in closed containers and kept in a cool, dry place. Liquipak or HDPE plastic drums are recommended for storage of STEPANATE SCS. If the material is exposed to cooler temperatures, it can crystallize and separate. It should be heated slowly and agitated gently to insure it's homogeneity before use.
Bulk Storage Information
STEPANATE SCS 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.
