As part of our Home Care portfolio, Stepan will highlight STEPANTEX® RA-80-G, our plant-based, non-flammable esterquat for fabric softener formulations. Based on rapeseed-derived fatty acids, STEPANTEX® RA-80-G remains liquid at room temperature and enables cold process manufacturing.
This technology helps formulators reduce energy consumption and manufacturing costs through cold processing, while delivering high softening performance. STEPANTEX® RA-80-G also provides flexibility for concentrated and water-reduced fabric softener formulations, helping lower transportation and packaging impacts.
We will also present NOVATENSIA™ SL, our new sophorolipids produced through fermentation using 100% upcycled second-generation feedstocks derived from agri-food waste and organic side streams. Designed for formulators aiming to develop eco-designed cleaning products, this new solution helps meet increasing consumer demand for more sustainable cleaning solutions.
