Dodecylamine Polyoxyethylene Ether AC-1210 is a nonionic surfactant (HLB value approx. 13.5) that is easily soluble in water. It is recommended to be used flexibly at a dosage of 0.5% to 10% depending on the specific application area, and should be stirred thoroughly before use.
Detailed Description
Dodecylamine Polyoxyethylene Ether AC-1210 (CAS No.: 26635-75-6) is a nonionic surfactant with weak cationic properties. It appears as a colorless to slightly yellow liquid with an active content of ≥99%, easily soluble in water and organic solvents. The product has an HLB value of approximately 13.5, making it a hydrophilic emulsifier, with a cloud point range of 60~80°C, a pH value of 6.0~8.0 for a 1% aqueous solution, low foam characteristics, excellent chemical stability, and good surface activity in both acidic and alkaline media.
The product is very flexible in use. It is typically added directly to the water phase or oil phase as a functional additive in formulations and stirred until uniform. Since the product is a liquid at room temperature (freezing point <0°C), it can be directly metered and added without preheating or melting. For emulsion systems, it is recommended to first dissolve AC-1210 in the oil phase, then mix and emulsify with water and other components to obtain a finer and more stable emulsion.
Guoli Chemical Database does not provide precise dosage standards for each application field. The following recommended dosages are reference values based on product characteristics and common industry experience. The optimal dosage should be determined through experimentation in actual use:

Application Recommendations
The following are recommended reference dosages for different fields (based on total formula weight):
- Textile Dyeing and Printing (Leveling Agent/Antistatic Agent): Recommended dosage 0.5%~3.0%. When used as a leveling agent for acid dyes, it can be added directly to the dye bath to effectively control the dyeing rate and avoid blotches and uneven coloring.
- Metalworking Fluids (Cutting Fluids/Cleaning Agents/Corrosion Inhibitors): Recommended dosage 1.0%~5.0%. It provides emulsifying, corrosion inhibiting, and lubricating functions, suitable for use in acidic or neutral formulations.
- Personal Care Products (Shampoos/Shower Gels): Recommended dosage 0.5%~3.0%. It can be compounded with other surfactants to provide conditioning, thickening, and irritation-reducing effects.
- Pesticide Formulations (Emulsifiers/Synergistic Penetrants): Recommended dosage 2.0%~10.0%. As a synergistic wetting and penetrating agent for herbicides such as glyphosate, it can be added to emulsifiable concentrate or aqueous formulations at the recommended dosage.
- Industrial Cleaning Agents: Recommended dosage 1.0%~6.0%. It has excellent emulsification and removal capability for grease and heavy oil stains, and its low foam characteristic is especially suitable for high-pressure spray cleaning.
Usage Operation Suggestions
- Before use, confirm that the product appears as a colorless to slightly yellow liquid, free from layering or abnormal turbidity.
- It is recommended to slowly add AC-1210 to the system under stirring to ensure full dispersion and dissolution.
- For emulsion preparation, it is recommended to first dissolve AC-1210 in the oil phase to improve emulsification efficiency and emulsion stability.
- It can be widely compounded with nonionic, anionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants, exhibiting excellent compatibility.
- The storage temperature should be controlled at 5~40°C to avoid freezing (the product has a freezing point below 0°C, but low-temperature storage should still be considered).
Precautions
- This product may cause skin irritation (H315) and serious eye irritation (H319). Wear chemically resistant protective gloves (nitrile rubber, thickness ≥0.4mm) and a tight-fitting chemical safety goggles when handling.
- It is chronically toxic to aquatic life (H412). Wastewater must not be discharged directly into water bodies and should be treated according to local environmental regulations.
- The above recommended dosages are reference ranges. The specific dosage should be optimized through experiments based on the actual formulation system.
- If higher precision dosage recommendations or technical support for specific formulations are needed, please contact the Guoli Chemical technical team for professional guidance.
