For almost 90 years, Stepan has designed and delivered more than 600 specialty and intermediate chemicals used extensively in consumer products, thermal insulation, and by the pharmaceutical, medical nutrition and dietary supplement industries. Stepan has 2,200 employees working at 18 production facilities in 11 countries making surfactants, polyurethane polyols, high purity esters, fats and oils.
Stepan Company has developed two highactive alkoxylates, BIO-SOFT® LFS-04 and BIO-SOFT LFS-07, that can remove soil without leaving behind a residue. The BIO-SOFT LFS-Series finds utility in multi-purpose and multi-surface products – from tackling tough dirt and grime to cleaning windows and countertops.
Traditionally, alcohol ethoxylates are known to provide cleaning power to a formulation. However, they can leave behind a film or streaked appearance on the applied surface unlike alkyl polyglycosides (APG). BIO-SOFT® LFS-04 and BIO-SOFT LFS-07provide cleaning power and the low filming and streaking performance that has been missing in the market. They provide superior cleaning performance and are especially effective in low-active products like floor and glass cleaners. Some can even be used as heavy duty cleaners for heavier soil loads.
Advancion's high-purity ULTRA PC™-grade amino alcohols are designed to deliver robust multifunctional performance and broad formulating latitude across a wide range of beauty and personal care applications. With efficient neutralization and buffering properties, as well as superior compatibility with a broad spectrum of other well-known formulating ingredients, ULTRA PC-grade amino alcohols aid in the formulation of beauty and personal care products with improved performance, enhanced stability, and exceptional aesthetic properties.
