Octadecylamine polyoxyethylene ether AC-1810 (CAS: 26635-75-6) is mainly applied in six major fields: textile printing and dyeing, pesticide formulations, daily chemical industry, metalworking fluids, petroleum industry, and plastics industry.

Detailed Description

Octadecylamine polyoxyethylene ether AC-1810 is a nonionic (weakly cationic) surfactant, appearing as a light yellow liquid to paste (melting point 40~50°C), with an HLB value of 12.5, easily soluble in water and organic solvents. With excellent emulsifying, dispersing, wetting properties and acid-base stability, it plays a key role in multiple industrial fields.

This product also possesses weak cationic characteristics, which can impart certain adsorption and antistatic properties to treated surfaces, making it uniquely valuable in textile and plastics industries. Additionally, its low-foaming property makes it suitable for process systems with high foam control requirements.

Six Application Industries and Processes

IndustryProcess/UseFunction Description
Textile Printing and DyeingLeveling agent, antistatic finishing agentImprove uniform distribution of dyes on fibers, reduce static buildup during processing
Pesticide FormulationsEmulsifier for emulsifiable concentrates, oil-in-water emulsions, microemulsionsDisperse and stabilize active pesticide ingredients, enhance wetting, spreading, and penetration of spray liquid
Daily Chemical IndustryEmulsification and solubilization in creams, lotions, shampoos, etc.Help uniformly disperse oil-soluble components, improve formula transparency and stability
Metalworking FluidsCutting fluids, rust preventive oil corrosion inhibitorsForm a protective film on metal surfaces, inhibit corrosion, extend tool and workpiece life
Petroleum IndustryCrude oil demulsification and dehydrationRapidly break crude oil emulsions, promote oil-water separation, improve dehydration and desalting efficiency
Plastics IndustryInternal antistatic agentReduce surface resistance of plastic products, prevent dust attraction and electric shock risks
