| Industrial Cleaning | Cleaning of hard surfaces such as metal, glass, and ceramics | Solubilizer, wetting penetrating agent |
| Daily Chemical Care | Formulations of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash | Antistatic conditioning agent |
| Metal Processing | Preparation of cutting fluids, grinding fluids, and rust preventive fluids | Emulsifying rust inhibitor |
| Acidic Systems | Treatment of acidic media such as pickling and acidic cleaning | Solubilizing additive |
In textile printing and dyeing, AC-1215 is added to the dye bath, utilizing the synergistic effect of its amine group and polyoxyethylene ether chain to achieve uniform dye uptake on the fiber, reducing color difference and defects; at the same time, it imparts antistatic properties to the fabric surface, reducing the risk of static buildup during processing.
In pesticide formulations, as a nonionic emulsifying dispersant, it effectively reduces the oil/water interfacial tension, enabling the formation of a stable dispersion system when the pesticide technical material is diluted in emulsifiable concentrate or prepared as an emulsion in water, ensuring the active ingredient remains uniformly suspended for a long time.
In metalworking fluids, it possesses dual functions of emulsification and rust prevention — maintaining the stability of the oil/water system while forming a protective film on the metal surface to inhibit corrosion, suitable for cutting fluid and grinding fluid formulations. Under acidic conditions, the amine group protonates to exhibit cationic properties, allowing it to be used for pickling solubilization, improving the compatibility of various components and preventing layering and precipitation.
