What are the main industries and processes where Dodecyl Amine Polyoxyethylene Ether AC-1202 is applied?

Dodecyl Amine Polyoxyethylene Ether AC-1202 is mainly applied in six major industries: pesticides, textiles, industrial cleaning, metalworking, leather, and coatings.

Detailed Application Industries and Processes

As a nonionic surfactant (cationic under acidic conditions), AC-1202 exhibits excellent emulsifying, wetting, dispersing, and chemical stability properties, and is widely used in the following fields:

• Pesticide Industry — Used as an emulsifier for emulsifiable concentrates, microemulsions, and emulsion concentrates, enhancing emulsification dispersion performance and permeability.
• Textile Dyeing and Finishing — Used as an antistatic agent and softening finishing agent, eliminating fiber static electricity, improving fabric hand feel, and enhancing leveling properties.
• Industrial Cleaning — Used in metal surface cleaning and degreasing formulations, combining decontamination with auxiliary corrosion inhibition functions.
• Metalworking — Functions as an emulsifier, lubricant, and rust inhibitor in formulations such as cutting fluids and grinding fluids.
• Leather Processing — Used as a degreasing agent to uniformly remove natural fats from raw hides, providing a clean surface for subsequent tanning and dyeing.
• Coatings Industry — Used as a pigment and filler dispersant, preventing flocculation and sedimentation through steric hindrance effects.

Key Process Characteristics

Compounding Suggestions

AC-1202 can be compounded with nonionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants, exhibiting excellent compatibility. Under acidic conditions, it can release cationic characteristics, making it suitable for formulations requiring dual-functional surface activity.
