    Product Applications
    • STEOL 4N is useful in a range of products, from shampoos and bubble baths to liquid detergents. It offers excellent flash foaming and emulsification properties.
    • Foam stability in the presence of soap is much improved over other anionics, thus making it useful for bubble baths and cleaning products containing soap as an ingredient.
    • STEOL 4N is mild with excellent detergent and foaming properties in hard and soft water and compatible with other anionics, as well as nonionics and alkaline builders.
    • Since it does not contain the ethanol commonly used to solubilize the "high-active", 60%, ether sulfates, it can provide improved viscosity response in formulated products.
