Dodecyl Amine Polyoxyethylene Ether AC-1210 (CAS: 26635-75-6) is prepared from dodecyl primary amine via ethoxylation. Its molecular structure contains both polyoxyethylene ether hydrophilic segments and long-chain alkyl hydrophobic groups, retaining the weakly cationic characteristics of the tertiary amine group. This unique molecular design endows the product with excellent interfacial activity and wide compatibility, making it one of the core surfactant products of Haian Guoli Chemical Co., Ltd.
AC-1210 maintains good surface activity in both acidic and alkaline media, with outstanding hard water resistance and low tendency to form precipitates with calcium and magnesium ions in water. Its weakly cationic nature allows affinity to negatively charged surfaces, forming adsorption films on various substrates and providing additional functions such as antistatic and softening conditioning. Moreover, this product can be compounded with nonionic, anionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants, offering high formulation flexibility.
This product has reliable safety under normal use conditions, classified as Skin Irritation Category 2, Serious Eye Irritation Category 2, and chronic toxicity to aquatic organisms. It is recommended to wear nitrile rubber protective gloves and chemical safety goggles during handling. Storage temperature should be controlled at 5–40°C, and the shelf life can reach two years under recommended conditions.

Textile Printing and Dyeing: As a core component of acid dye leveling agents, it effectively controls the dyeing rate, prevents uneven color and blotching, and improves dye depth and brightness. It can also be used as a low-temperature wool dyeing auxiliary and antistatic finishing agent for synthetic fibers.
Metalworking and Rust Prevention: Used as a multifunctional additive in metal cutting fluids, rust prevention fluids, and cleaning agents, with emulsifying, corrosion inhibiting, and lubricating effects. Its weakly cationic nature forms a protective film on metal surfaces, exhibiting excellent corrosion inhibition especially in acidic media.
Daily Chemical Care Products: It provides conditioning functions in personal care products such as shampoos, conditioners, and body washes, improving hair combability, softness, and gloss while reducing skin and mucosal irritation of the formulation, enhancing mildness.
Pesticide Formulations: Widely used as an emulsifier and synergist in emulsifiable concentrates, aqueous emulsions, and microemulsions. It is particularly suitable for enhancing the wetting and penetration of herbicides like glyphosate, improving the spreading and absorption of the spray liquid on plant leaves, thereby increasing field control efficacy.
Industrial Cleaning: Suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure industrial cleaning formulations, with good emulsifying and removal ability for oils, dirt, especially heavy oil stains and carbon deposits. It maintains high efficiency even in hard water and acidic cleaning environments, while also providing corrosion protection.
