- Applications
BIO-SOFT E-847 is a nonionic surfactant prepared by ethoxylating fatty alcohol. It provides moderate, stable foam and high detergency in such uses as laundry detergents, dishwash and hand soaps. It is water soluble and highly effective at low concentrations, working well in warm and hot water applications. It can also be used as a dyeing assistant, emulsifier and wetting agent.

Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves and safety goggles) should be employed when handling BIO-SOFT E-847. Contact with eyes and skin should be avoided.
- It is recommended that BIO-SOFT E-847 be stored in sealed containers and kept in a cool, dry place. If material is frozen it should be heated gently and stirred to ensure it is homogeneous before use.
- Bulk Storage Information: BIO-SOFT E-847 can be stored in vessels of 316 stainless steel, but carbon steel is adequate. Material should be stored between 37-44 °C (98-111 °F). An internal hairpin coil of carbon steel with low pressure steam (under 50 psi) should be used if heating is required. Mild agitation is required if tank is heated. 316 stainless steel is preferred for pumps, pipes and transfer lines, however carbon steel is adequate.

- Workplace Exposure
Occupational exposure can occur primarily through skin contact or via inhalation of vapors or mists. Engineering controls, personal protective equipment, and other workplace practices should be used to control these exposures.
