Carboxyline 25 D is an anionic functional biopolymer produced by carboxymethylation of inulin that offers a unique combination of sequestering, anti-scaling, and dispersing properties. It is inherently and ultimately biodegradable, which means that it slowly degrades in the natural environment and is not persistent. It can be considered a multifunctional and sustainable ingredient.

STEPANQUAT 50 NF is a quaternary used for broad spectrum preservation of personal care products.

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.

S&M METHYLPARABEN is fully effective both in anionic as well as cationic systems. Acidic pH values have no negative influence on the effectiveness. High pH values (> pH 8.0) should be avoided. S&M METHYLPARABEN proved to have good chemical compatibility with anionic surfactants such as sulphates, ether sulphates and sulphosuccinates, as well as with non-ionogenic surfactants. Ethoxylated surfactants may lead to loss of effectiveness.
