STEPANBLEND® LDW is a surfactant blend designed to simplify home care and personal care formulations. This blend exhibits high and stable foam volume with good cleaning performance. This concentrate offers all the benefits of surfactant blends: cold mixability and ease of handling for transport, storing and mixing considerations. STEPANBLEND® LDW may be used in liquid cleansing applications such as dishwashing and laundry detergents for home care and shampoo, body wash and liquid hand soap, among others for personal care. STEPANBLEND® LDW is preserved with excess alkalinity, which allows the formulator flexibility when choosing a preservative for their finished formulation.
