Homecare & Institutional Cleaning

STEPANOL WA-EXTRA is an anionic surfactant providing excellent foaming and viscosity characteristics. It can be utilized in personal care and detergent formulations such as shampoo, hand soap, bath product, shampoo, light duty liquid and fine fabric wash, textile scouring and foaming additive for industrial applications.

STEPANOL WAT-K is an anionic surfactant with excellent foam and viscosity characteristics. It can be used in shampoos, bubble baths, liquid hand soaps, liquid dishwashing detergents and liquid laundry detergents. It provides formulations with a dense, creamy foam.

STEPOSOL MET-10U utilizes the cleaning properties of a surfactant to outperform many common solvents. It fulfills the role of both a low HLB surfactant and a powerful solvent, which allows it to be highly effective against a broad range of soils. STEPOSOL MET-10U can be used in formulations ranging from pH 3–12 while achieving viscosities from water-thin to gel. This metathesis-derived, nonionic surfactant is an unsaturated, short chain amide resulting from Stepan’s collaboration with Elevance Renewable Sciences and furthers Stepan’s effort to deliver renewable, naturally-derived products to the market.

STEPOSOL® CITRI-MET is a concentrated fully formulated cleaning blend that can strip paint and coatings at dilutions from 1:1 (50%) to 1:4 (20%) strength. At a more dilute 1:14 (6.7%) strength, it is just strong enough to soften a surface’s top layer of gloss coating in 1 to 2 minutes time, and allow it to fill in damaged and worn areas when spread around and left to dry. This principle works on all surfaces that are softened by STEPOSOL® CITRI-MET, such as industrial or oil based painted surfaces, or finished wood surfaces. By softening the upper portion of the coating, STEPOSOL® CITRI-MET allows for deep cleaning of embedded dirt as well.
