Important Note on CAS Number and EC Number
Agnique SLES-370 is a mixture, not a single pure chemical substance. For this reason, the complete commercial product should not be presented as having one single product-specific CAS number or EC number.
The BASF Safety Data Sheet lists the product as a mixture and identifies the hazardous ingredient as (OLIGOMER) Alcohols, C12-14, ethoxylated, sulfates, sodium salts (> 1 < 2.5 mol EO) at a concentration of >=50% to <75%, with CAS number 68891-38-3. The BASF SDS does not state a product-level EC number for the complete mixture.
For SEO and technical identification, the CAS and EC information should therefore be written carefully as component-level information, not as a single product-specific identifier for the finished mixture.

Solubility and Dilution Behavior
When diluted with water, Agnique SLES-370 shows gel structures that are typical of ether sulfates. After water addition, viscosity may first increase rapidly and then decrease considerably once the active substance level is reduced below approximately 30%.
According to BASF technical information, liquid stable solutions are obtained up to approximately 28% active substance. At higher concentrations, the product becomes pasty.
Final formulation behavior should always be tested in the complete system, especially when the formulation contains salts, fertilizers, acids, alkalis, solvents, oils, active ingredients, other surfactants or rheology modifiers.
Storage and Handling
Agnique SLES-370 should be stored and handled under good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
Recommended storage and handling guidance includes:
Store Agnique SLES-370 at temperatures between 20 and 40 C.
Protect the product against frost; the product becomes solid at low temperature but can be returned to its original state by carefully increasing temperature.
At temperatures below +20 C, flowability decreases.
Below 10 C, pumping is not possible.
For easier handling and bulk transport, the product temperature may be raised to approximately 50 C for a short period without impairing product quality.
For prolonged storage, use the lowest suitable temperature to avoid potential impairment.
Use a warm-water heating system with a maximum temperature of 60 C when raising product temperature.
Do not use saturated steam because it may cause irreversible damage to the product and storage tank.
Monitor pH value during storage because pH may decrease depending on storage temperature.
Slight separation may occur during storage or transportation and can be eliminated by stirring.
Keep containers tightly closed and in a cool place.
Avoid release to drains, surface waters or groundwater.
