Join Stepan at SEPAWA Congress 2025

Stepan Company will showcase its latest advancements in home and personal care technologies at the SEPAWA Congress 2025 in Berlin, Europe’s premier forum for this industry. We invite you to visit booth F847 to discover our newest products, innovative concepts, and formulation techniques.

Esterquats for Fabric Softeners

As an expansion of our cationic fabric softeners portfolio, Stepan is pleased to introduce STEPANTEX® RA-80-G, our most recent esterquat fabric softener development. This product is non-flammable and remains liquid at room temperature, enabling "cold process" formulations that do not require heating during processing or handling. STEPANTEX® RA-80-G is manufactured from a pure vegetable-derived fatty acid, underscoring our commitment to sustainable sourcing

Support with BPR

Stepan — an established global supplier of biocidal products based on quaternary chemistry, remains dedicated to supporting customers through the Biocidal Product Regulation (BPR) process. Stepan offers biocidal frame formulation to help clients transition their formulations in compliance with BPR requirements. 

Sulfonate-Based Surfactants

In addition to our presence on the show floor, Stepan is participating in the SEPAWA Congress scientific and application-oriented poster exhibition in the category of Personal Care, around the topic of “Sulfonate-Based Surfactants Delivering Enhanced Performance for Sustainable Formulation Practices.” Visit our poster exhibition during regular opening hours and meet our Stepan expert for a dedicated discussion planned from 1:00-2:30 p.m, Wednesday, October 15.

Key highlights of the poster include:

• The implications of emerging regulations in Europe, such as 1,4-dioxane restrictions and the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
• The contribution of surfactants—including BIO-TERGE® AS 40 HASB, ALPHA-STEP® PC-48, AMPHOSOL® DM/MB, and NINOL® CAA—to the development of effective, environmentally responsible cleansers.
• The adoption of biomass-balanced products (BIO-TERGE® AS-40 HASB/Bio-B and Bio-C) aimed at achieving significant product carbon footprint (PCF) reductions.
• The advantages of ALPHA-STEP® PC-48 in minimizing hair static and enhancing sensory experience.
