 PROFILE
Company secrets aside, makers of laundry detergents, shampoos, toothpaste, and other personal care products can come clean with Stepan Company. About 75% of the company's sales come from surfactants, a chemical best known as a basic cleaning agent used in consumer products such as detergents, toothpastes, and cosmetics. The company's surfactants also are used in commercial and industrial applications ranging from emulsifiers for agricultural insecticides to agents used in oil recovery. Stepan also makes phthalic anhydride (an acid used in making resins) and other polymers, as well as specialty chemicals for food and pharmaceutical uses. Chairman F. Quinn Stepan and his family own more than 20% of the company.
