- Applications
The BIO-SOFTN1 series is a line of high active nonionic surfactants. The BIO-SOFTN1 series products are stable in both aqueous acidic and alkaline solutions, allowing for application in a wide range of products. The alcohol ethoxylates containing between one and five moles of ethoxylation are primarily useful in oil-based systems.

- The BIO-SOFT N1 Series is approved for use under EPA 40CFR 180.910 and 180.930.
Safety & Health
- Toxicity
The BIO-SOFT N1 Series products are slightly toxic orally (LD₅₀ ≥ 2700mg/kg). Undiluted the BIO-SOFT N1 Series products are severe skin and eye irritants while a 1% dilution generally causes slight to mild skin irritation. A detailed mammalian toxicity statement is available upon request.
Packaging & Availability
- Standard Packaging
The BIO-SOFT N1 Series products are available in 55-gallon drums and in bulk quantities.
Storage & Handling
- Storage & Handling
- Normal safety precautions (i.e., gloves, safety goggles) should be employed when handling BIO-SOFT N1 Series products. Avoid contact with eyes, nose or prolonged skin contact. Wash exposed areas thoroughly after handling material.
- While diluting the BIO-SOFT N1 Series products, as with all alcohol ethoxylates, they are prone to gelling. If the product is diluted into water, heating may be required to minimize or eliminate gel formation.
- It is recommended that the BIO-SOFT N1 Series products be stored in sealed containers and kept in a cool, dry place. If the products are frozen, they should be heated gently and stirred to ensure they are homogeneous before use.
