Surfactant solution for solvent replacement STEPOSOL® MET-10U can replace many common solvents such as Dibasic Ester, D-Limonene, and Glycol Ethers, NMP, Methylene Chloride By Stepan STEPOSOL® MET-10 utilises the cleaning properties of a surfactant to outperform many common solvents in household cleaning, paints & coatings removal and adhesive removals. It fulfils the role of both a low HLB surfactant and a powerful solvent which allows it to be highly effective against a broad range of soils. STEPOSOL® MET-10U can be used in formulations ranging from pH 3–12 while achieving viscosities from water-thin to gel. This metathesisderived, nonionic surfactant is an unsaturated, short chain amide resulting from Stepan’s collaboration with Elevance Renewable Sciences and furthers Stepan’s effort to deliver renewable, naturally-derived products to the market.
Applications STEPOSOL® MET-10U is effective in a variety of cleaning formulations. Application examples include: • All-purpose cleaner • Kitchen / Exhaust hood degreaser • Oven cleaning • Driveway & Concrete cleaner • Car wash • Engine degreaser • Tank cleaner • Metal cleaner • Heavy duty degreaser • Grill cleaner • Coating remover • Graffiti remover • Paint stripper • Paper chemicals • Rig wash (continues on page 2 >>)
