  • INCI Name:

    Sodium Methyl 2-Sulfolaurate (and) Disodium 2-Sulfolaurate

ALPHA-STEP PC-48 is an anionic surfactant. This bio-degradable product is derived from oleochemicals and its hydrophobic chain distribution, which ranges from C12 to C18, allows for excellent detergency, foaming and mildness properties in a wide variety of household, industrial and personal care applications. PC-48 is appropriate when formulating high foaming, high active personal care products such as body wash. It has a very low viscosity response and is very good at clarifying formulas with high levels of electrolytes. This versatile surfactant also functions well in hard water, having favorable hard water tolerance and lime soap dispersing ability. ALPHA-STEP PC-48 is a readily soluble liquid that can be easily formulated between a pH of 4 to 9. Applications include household and industrial liquid laundry, hand dishwash, hard surface cleaners, hand soaps, specialty foam applications, body washes and facial cleansers.
