Secondary alcohol ethoxylates, also known as ethoxylated secondary alcohols, C12-14 secondary alcohol ethoxylate, or secondary fatty alcohol ethoxylate, are nonionic surfactants corresponding to CAS 84133-50-6 and commonly used in detergent formulations. These materials are produced by ethoxylation of linear secondary alcohols, providing balanced hydrophilic–lipophilic properties that support wetting, emulsification, and soil removal in industrial cleaning systems. The product is supplied with competitive factory pricing, customized specifications, full documentation including MSDS, TDS, COA, and stable bulk supply.

Product Description
Softanol S-90 is an excellent penetration, emulsifier, wetting and cleaning agent, and does not contain APEO, good biodegradability, environmental friendliness, and various properties are close to TX series, better than straight-chain AEO series; It can be used with other types of anionic, non-ionic,Cationic surfactantCompound use has outstanding synergistic effect, which can greatly reduce the use and consumption of additives and achieve a good cost performance; It can improve the effectiveness of thickeners for paints and improve the washability of solvent-based systems. It has a wide range of uses in textile printing and dyeing, refining and bleaching, paint emulsifier, papermaking deinking agent, pesticide, fertilizer, wettable powder emulsifier, dry cleaning agent, textile treatment and oilfield exploitation.
Applications:
In the printing and dyeing industry, as efficient and fine cleaning,WoolIt can be used as a hair washing agent in industry, as an emulsifier in paint coatings, and as waste paper in papermakingDeinking agent, pesticides and fertilizers can be wet powder emulsifiers, dry cleaning agents; It can also be used as a raw material for preparing laundry detergent, mainly used to emulsify and remove oil stains; Another main use is hard surface cleaning, such as aluminum alloy degreasing and floor wax removal, which are also widely used.
It can be used as a low-temperature dispersant, and the freezing point (when the ice water mixture at 0°C) is still liquid, compensatesfatty alcohol polyoxyethylene etherAEO Winter Gel Problem.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Are secondary alcohol ethoxylates and Softanol 90 chemically equivalent?
A: Secondary alcohol ethoxylates described under CAS 84133-50-6 represent the same chemical category as Softanol 90–type products, differing mainly by ethoxylation degree and specification ranges. -
Q:
Is secondary alcohol ethoxylate supplied mainly for industrial formulations?
A: It is typically supplied as an industrial surfactant ingredient for formulated detergent and cleaning systems rather than for laboratory-scale research use.
