Stepan offers numerous chemistries to support consumer interest in naturally derived products. NINOL® CAA, a fragrance solubilizer and viscosity-builder, is coconut oil-derived and 100% active. With no added water, energy resources spent on transport are reduced. Also bio-based and high-active, STEPANQUAT® Soleil offers the additional benefit of having a regionally sourced raw material, allowing for lower transport-related emissions for raw material acquisition.
Our Agricultural Solutions co-formulants enable on-target application of crop protection, promote spray drift reduction and support improved productivity through effective seed treatments.
Stepan’s technologies enable stronger and lighter gypsum wall boards, contributing to lower energy use in transport. Our new technologies going into rigid foam polyol insulation provide enhanced energy conservation.
The feedstock used to manufacture Stepan’s medium chain triglycerides (MCT's) come from coconut and palm kernel sources. These renewable feedstocks allow Stepan to produce a wide range of healthy oils which support our customers formulations in the infant nutrition, brain health and active life styles market segments.
