- STEOL® CS-230 HP MZ provides improved mildness over sodium lauryl sulfate without sacrificing critical performance attributes, such as foaming and viscosity response. Its low irritation properties allow it to be used for mild cleansing products, as well as baby products. STEOL® CS-230 HP MZ can be formulated into shampoos, bath products, and hand soaps, offering the required physical properties and performance attributes.
- Products based on STEOL® CS-230 HP MZ can be thickened with salts, betaines, or amides, with the latter two also serving to enrich the foam. A variety of performance and physical attributes can be obtained simply by adjusting the amount of additive incorporated into a formula. Since STEOL® CS-230 HP MZ is compatible with commonly used opacifying and pearlizing agents, the formulator is afforded flexibility in developing the desired product appearance.

Safety & Health
- Health Effects
STEOL® CS-230 HP MZ has not been tested, however, due to high alkalinity it is anticipated that the product will be corrosive to skin and eye when used “as is”. STEOL® CS-230 HP MZ is non-toxic orally (LD50 is >5 g/kg) and causes mild to moderate skin and moderate eye irritation at 10% active when tested under neutral pH conditions.
- Safety Precautions
Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling STEOL® CS-230 HP MZ. Contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided. Wash thoroughly after handling material.
- Workplace Exposure
Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapors and mists. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace safety practices should be used to control these exposures.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging Information
Standard Packaging: STEOL® CS-230 HP MZ is available in bulk, tote and 55-gallon drum quantities
Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling Conditions
- Bulk Storage Recommendations: Tanks made of 316 stainless steel or fiberglass with an Atlac 382 corrosion liner are recommended. Positive displacement gear pumps and piping should be 316 stainless steel. Recommended storage for bulk tanks is 90-100°F (32-38°C).
- Non-Bulk Storage Recommendations: It is recommended that STEOL® CS-230 HP MZ be stored in a sealed container and kept at temperatures above 45°F (7°C). Avoid overheating or freezing. If material is frozen, mild heat and agitation are recommended to ensure the material is homogeneous before use.
