Applications: STEOL KS-460 is a modified lauryl ethoxy sulfate used to eliminate the preliminary gelling stage frequently encountered on dilution of regular ethoxy sulfates. STEOL KS-460 has excellent wetting, foaming and detergency properties in hard and soft water. Its compatibility with other anionics, nonionics, and alkaline builders permits great versatility in formulating. STEOL KS-460 offers excellent flash foaming and grease cutting properties and can be used in liquid detergent, carwash, textile detergents and industrial foaming applications.
