Applications
  • STEOL CA-330 is an excellent surfactant for low pH liquid shampoos, bath and cleansing products. It offers excellent foam and viscosity characteristics. STEOL CA-330 provides improved mildness over ammonium lauryl sulfate. It is recommended for children's products due to low skin irritation properties.
  • STEOL CA-330 is hydrolytically stable in low pH formulations. STEOL CA-330 based products can be readily thickened with salts, amides, amine oxides and betaines and by modifying the additive levels, formulas exhibiting a variety of both performance and physical attributes can be developed.
