STEPANTEX VT-90 is a high quality fabric softener quaternary for use in household and commercial products. It can be used in a full range of dispersion concentrations with excellent storage stability and formulation capabilities. STEPANTEX VK-90 will produce 3 - 20% solids dispersions easily. These dispersions exhibit instant cold water dispersability and provide excellent softening. STEPANTEX VT-90 offers good rewet and is non-yellowing.

Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
Handle STEPANTEX VT-90 with care; use away from sparks and open flame. Use in a well ventilated area. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Use gloves and safety goggles when handling STEPANTEX VT-90. It is recommended that STEPANTEX VT-90 be stored in stainless steel storage tanks of type 304L minimum, 316L is preferred. Also acceptable are Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) with an Atlac 382 type lining. Tanks should be padded with a nitrogen gas blanket, and equipped with conservation vents and flame arrestors. Tanks should be adequately insulated to maintain elevated temperatures. Generally, mixing is recommended to maintain homogeneity, either by a mechanical stirrer or recirculation loop. Bulk storage facilities should be designed to maintain a minimum product temperature of 50°C (122°F) and a maximum temperature of 60°C (140°F). Hot water heating provided through No. 316L Stainless Steel heating coils is recommended. Steam heating through coils can be used. No. 316L Stainless Steel centrifugal or positive displacement pumps should be used. Piping should be of No. 316L Stainless Steel, Schedule 40 or Steel Kynar lined P.V.F. Rubber hoses lined with Teflon or crosslinked polyethylene and equipped with No. 316L Stainless Steel fittings are recommended for loading and unloading. Contact with brass, copper, and aluminum components must be strictly avoided.
- Workplace Exposure
Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapors and mists. Exposure Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace practices should be used to control these exposures.
