Applications
  • STEPANOL AMV PCK is an ammonium lauryl sulfate derived from fatty alcohol sulfated via Stepan’s continuous SO₃ process. This process allows the highest reproducibility in finished products because of the consistent quality of the surfactant.
  • STEPANOL AMV PCK can be used in a variety of personal care formulations and is excellent for acidic shampoo systems. STEPANOL AMV PCK will generate generous foam and is compatible with alkanolamides and amphoterics. STEPANOL AMV PCK will release an ammonia odor when the pH is alkaline.
