STEPANATE SXS-30 is used in liquid detergent formulations as a solubiliser, coupling agent and cloud point depressant. The hydrotropic or solubilising properties of STEPANATE SXS-30 allows materials to be incorporated into formulations that normally are incompatible. STEPANATE SXS-30 is also useful in lowering the cloud point or crystallization temperature of complex blends. STEPANATE SXS-30 contains no alcohol so it will not decrease the flash point of your formulation. It is also chemically inert in most formulations. STEPANATE SXS-30 is commonly used as a coupling agent for surfactants in phosphate and silicate solutions. The coupling ability of STEPANATE SXS-30 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 STEPANATE SXS-30. Contact with eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash hands thoroughly after handling material. It is recommended that STEPANATE SXS-30 be stored in sealed containers and kept in a cool, dry place. Liquipack or HPDE plastic drums are recommended for storage of STEPANATE SXS-30. If the material is exposed to low temperatures (below 15°C), it can crystallize and separate. It shou ld be heated gently and stirred in order to reconstitute the clear liquid and to ensure it is homogeneous before use. After reheating and homogenization, it is possible that the pH drifts slightly. This is normal and does not affect the product performance.
Bulk Storage Information
STEPANATE SXS-30 should be stored in 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with a corrosion liner. Mild agitation is recommended while storing to maintain homogeneity. 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.
