Triton X-100 (reduced)

Triton X-100 (reduced), CAS 92046-34-9, is a non-ionic surfactant derived from the hydrogenation of Triton X-100, eliminating the aromatic ring structure. It is commercially known under trade names including RTX 100 and Octoxynol and carries EC number 682-156-5. No E-code designation applies to this substance.

In water treatment, it reduces surface tension to improve wetting of particulate matter, aiding coagulation and filtration efficiency. In textile processing, it functions as an emulsifier and degreaser, allowing uniform dye penetration by dispersing oils and sizing agents from fabric surfaces before finishing operations.

This material is supplied as a viscous colorless liquid and falls under REACH registration requirements applicable to EU-market substances. Procurement teams should confirm grade specifications against intended application requirements, particularly for personal care or cosmetics end uses where additional compliance documentation may be required. Standard packaging formats vary by supplier volume tier.
