BIO-TERGE AS-40A is an aqueous solution of sodium olefin sulfonate which is produced by the continuous sulfonation of alpha olefins via Stepan's falling film process. Stepan's process minimizes the formation of disulfonates thereby offering a consistent high-quality product. BIO-TERGE AS-40A is an ideal surfactant for a variety of detergent and personal care applications including hand soaps, shampoos, and bath products. It offers the formulator excellent viscosity and foam characteristics, as well as improved mildness over lauryl sulfates. It is more stable than alcohol sulfates over a broad pH range.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
Normal safety precautions (i.e., the use of gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling BIO-TERGE AS-40A. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling material.
- Non-Bulk Storage Recommendations: It is recommended that BIO-TERGE AS-40A be stored in sealed containers and kept at temperatures above 50°F (10°C). Avoid overheating or freezing. This material can gel and separate if exposed to cooler temperatures. If required, heat product with hot water or low-pressure steam (< 15 psig) along with mild agitation up to 80-100°F (27-38°C), to ensure homogeneity before use.
- Bulk Storage Recommendations: Tanks made of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with Atlac 382 corrosion liner are recommended. Positive displacement gear pumps and piping should be 316 stainless steel. Recommended storage for bulk tanks is 80-100°F (27-38°C)
