- STEPANOL WAT-K is a triethanolamine lauryl sulfate produced from the sulfation of fatty alcohol via Stepan's continuous SO3 process. This process allows the consistent production of a high purity product such as STEPANOL WAT-K. STEPANOL WAT-K is preserved with Methylchloroisothiazolinone/Methylisothiazolinone which provides better color stability over product preserved with formaldehyde.
- STEPANOL WAT-K can be used in shampoos, bubble baths, liquid hand soaps, and other personal care applications. It provides formulations with dense, creamy foam which, along with its viscosity characteristics, has excellent cosmetic appeal. STEPANOL WAT-K is easily formulated with alkanolamides and amphoterics for optimization of foam and viscosity characteristics. It can be used in clear products where low temperature clarity is important.

Safety & Health
- Health Effects
STEPANOL WAT-K is moderately to slightly toxic orally (LD₅₀ ranging from 0.25 to >1.95 g/kg) and causes moderate to severe eye and skin irritation at 10% active.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
STEPANOL WAT-K is available in bulk and 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 STEPANOL WAT-K. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling material.
- It is recommended that STEPANOL WAT-K be stored in sealed containers and kept at temperatures above 45 °F (7 °C). Avoid overheating or freezing. If material is frozen, mild heat and agitation are recommended to ensure the material is homogeneous before use.
- Bulk Storage Information: Tanks made of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with an Atlac 382 corrosion liner are recommended. Certifugal pumps and piping should be 316 stainless steel. Recommended storage for bulk tanks is 85-105°F (29-41°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.
