BIO-SOFT® EC series are nonionic surfactants prepared by ethoxylating fatty alcohol. The BIO-SOFT EC series products are stable in both aqueous acidic and alkaline solutions, allowing for application in a wide range of products. They provide moderate, stable foam and high detergency for use in laundry products, consumer and I&I hard surface cleaners. The BIO-SOFT EC series products are water soluble and highly effective at low concentrations, working well in warm and hot water applications.

The BIO-SOFT® N25 series is a line of high active nonionic surfactants. The BIO-SOFT N25 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.

MAKON NF-5 is a biodegradable nonionic surfactant that exhibits low foaming properties and excellent wetting action. MAKON NF-5 may be readily formulated into highly alkaline built liquid systems. Solutions of MAKON NF-5 resist foam development even under extreme or prolonged agitation; they are completely non-foaming above 25 °C. MAKON NF-5 can be used in a variety of applications including mechanical dishwashing, rinse aids, metal cleaning, spray washing, general purpose cleaning, emulsion polymerization, textile wetting and scouring, agricultural adjuvant and non-foaming emulsions.

KahlComplex 6421 MB Supersoft is a vegan lanolin substitute consisting of complex esters of natural fatty acids, isostearic acid and adipic acid. It is a soft, greasy paste that melts clear at around 40 °C. KahlComplex 6421 MB Supersoft shows similar water absorption as sheep's lanolin of at least 200 %. It is suitable for O/W, W/O emulsions, and anhydrous systems. This product is of certified RSPO Mass Balance quality.
