The SOFTANOL\u2122 series of products are used in a wide range of fields including in general detergents and in the textile industry, paper and pulp industry, and metals industry as surfactants with outstanding properties such as excellent wetting and penetration, unique foam properties, superior surface tension reduction, low viscosity, and a low pour point for easy handling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SOFTANOL\u2122 has excellent biodegradability, making it easy to treat in wastewater and sufficiently degradable even in river water. This has enabled SOFTANOL\u2122 to build a solid reputation as a product that can meet society\u2019s need for environmental sustainability, especially in this day and age where wastewater treatment is becoming increasingly strict from the perspectives of maintaining and improving the natural environment and preventing water pollution. Please try SOFTANOL\u2122 for your products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Composition of SOFTANOL\u2122<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SOFTANOL\u2122 is a composition containing a unique T-shaped molecular structure and numerous isomers. SOFTANOL\u2122 have a structure in which a polyethylene glycol chain branches from a non-terminal carbon (an internal carbon atom) of the raw material, normal paraffin.<br>Thanks to this distinctive structure and composition, SOFTANOL\u00ae exhibits a wide range of excellent properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shokubai.co.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Softanol_image_en_v2-1024x371.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shokubai.co.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Softanol_image_en_v2-1024x371.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.shokubai.co.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Softanol_image_en_v2-300x109.png 300w, https:\/\/www.shokubai.co.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Softanol_image_en_v2-768x278.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shokubai.co.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Softanol_image_en_v2-1536x557.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.shokubai.co.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Softanol_image_en_v2.png 1785w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"anc02\">Features and Properties\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. <\/strong> <strong>Extremely Easy to Handle<\/strong><br>Low viscosity, low pour point, narrow (or no) gelling range<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.

We are also able to achieve even more advanced treatment by combining this process with biological treatment in the latter stages.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":19353,\"width\":\"572px\",\"height\":\"auto\",\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.shokubai.co.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/CWAO_properties_image_-1024x612-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19353\" style=\"width:572px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"anc02\">Features and Properties<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:list {\"ordered\":true} -->\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Simultaneous decomposition and removal of COD and compounds containing nitrogen and sulfur<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Low running costs<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Space saving, due to the compact plant design<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Stable, continuous and automatic operation<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Enables thermal self-sustained operation by recovering oxidation heat from wastewater\u2014no auxiliary fuel needed, reducing energy costs and CO\u2082 emissions<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Deodorization and decolorization are also possible<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Clean exhaust gases without SOx, NOx, and dioxins<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Does not generate secondary pollutants, such as sludge and incinerated ashes<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Able to reuse the treated water as water for cisterns, fire, irrigation, etc. (in high-efficiency treatment)<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/ol>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Download CWAO Product Catalog<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:buttons -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\"><!-- wp:button -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shokubai.co.jp\/en\/products-download\/?pdf=catalyst-cwao_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download Catalog<\/a><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:button --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:buttons -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>This catalog provides a clear and concise overview of CWAO.
