BASF Disponil AZ 930 Fatty Alcohol Ether Sulfate – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Number for Disponil AZ 930?

A: The CAS Number is 68439-49-6 (generic for C12–C15 alcohol ethoxylate sulfates; specific batch documentation available upon request).


Q2: What is the recommended usage level in shampoo formulations?

A: Typical inclusion range is 8–15 wt-% in final product, depending on desired foam density, viscosity, and mildness targets; always validate with preservative challenge and stability testing.


Q3: How does Disponil AZ 930 compare to Disponil FES 77 in terms of performance?

A: AZ 930 offers higher active content (28–32%) and improved hard-water tolerance vs. FES 77 (typically ~23% active); AZ 930 also delivers superior foam volume and longer-lasting lather in rinse-off applications.


Q4: Is Disponil AZ 930 compliant with EU Ecolabel or USDA BioPreferred criteria?

A: It meets the biodegradability requirements of EU Ecolabel (Annex I, point 2.1) but is not certified under the full EU Ecolabel scheme; it qualifies for USDA BioPreferred Program as a bio-based product (renewable carbon content ≥ 60%).


Q5: Are there concerns regarding migration or extraction into food simulants when used in indirect food-contact cleaning agents?

A: When formulated and rinsed according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), residual levels are below detection limits (≤ 0.01 ppm) in standard food simulants (e.g., 10% ethanol, 3% acetic acid); full compliance with EC 1935/2004 requires end-product-specific migration testing.
