Dodecyl amine polyoxyethylene ether AC-1205 is mainly applied in five major industries: agrochemical, textile, daily chemical, industrial metal processing, and petroleum energy, covering various process stages such as emulsification, dispersion, leveling, conditioning, and cleaning.
Core Application Industries and Processes
I. Agrochemical Formulations
- Pesticide emulsifier: Used in formulations such as emulsifiable concentrates and aqueous emulsions, reducing oil-water interfacial tension and improving emulsion stability.
- Dispersible oil suspension adjuvant: Enhances dispersion and storage stability of the suspension system.
- Tank-mix synergist: Improves wetting and spreading ability of the spray solution during field mixing.
II. Textile and Leather
- High-temperature leveling agent: Enhances dye migration ability in synthetic fiber dyeing processes, reducing color spots.
- Fiber antistatic agent: Imparts antistatic effect and smooth feel to fiber surfaces.
- Soaping agent after dyeing: Removes unfixed dyes and improves color fastness.
III. Daily Chemicals
- Conditioner for hair conditioner/shampoo: Provides thickening, antistatic, and smooth conditioning functions.
- Fabric softener: Imparts soft and smooth feel to fabrics.
- Hard surface cleaner: Enhances detergency and penetration.
IV. Industrial and Metal Processing
- Additive for metal cutting/grinding fluids: Adsorbs on metal surfaces to form a protective film, providing lubrication, dispersion, and anti-rust effects.
- Industrial hard surface cleaner/heavy-duty degreaser: Penetrates and emulsifies mineral oils and vegetable oils.
- Dispersant for pigments and coatings: Prevents pigment flocculation through steric hindrance and electrostatic stabilization mechanisms, improving color strength and storage stability.
V. Petroleum and Energy
- Crude oil demulsifier and desalting agent: Accelerates oil-water separation, reduces interfacial film strength, and improves crude oil purification efficiency.
- Synergist for oilfield acidizing corrosion inhibitor: Enhances performance of corrosion inhibitors in acidic media.
Key Application Mechanisms
AC-1205 is nonionic under normal conditions, giving it excellent formulation compatibility. In acidic media, the amine group is protonated to exhibit cationic properties, enhancing adsorption affinity to negatively charged surfaces such as metals and fibers. This dual ionic characteristic makes it perform outstandingly in processes such as emulsification, dispersion, antistatic treatment, and corrosion inhibition.
Safety and Handling Instructions
- Wear protective gloves, goggles, and protective clothing during operation.
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and wash exposed areas promptly after use.
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from light, with a recommended temperature range of +5°C to +35°C.
- Do not discharge spills into drains or water bodies.
