Applications STEPAN PEARL 2 is a special blend which enables the formulator to incorporate a pearlescent appearance
into shampoos, bubble baths, dishwashing liquids, and other personal care products without additional heating
or extended processing time.
The unique emulsifier package in STEPAN PEARL 2 produces excellent pearlescence through cold blending.
This excludes the need for external heating such as with mono and di-stearates and allows the formulator to
produce a product at ambient temperatures. As a result, the formulator benefits from direct energy savings as
well as quicker batch cycling.
It is recommended that STEPAN PEARL 2 be incorporated into alcohol sulfate or alcohol ethoxylate systems.
Common use levels of 1% to 5%, depending on the desired intensity of pearlescence desired, are
recommended. Typically, 2.5% to 3% will achieve an aesthetically acceptable pearl.
