Octadecyl polyoxyethylene ether AC-1812 has good basic environmental characteristics in conventional industrial applications, but for specific information on formal environmental certifications and test reports, please contact Guoli Chemical directly.

Detailed Explanation

According to the Guoli Chemical product database, AC-1812 is a non-ionic surfactant and is managed as a general chemical. Based on its physicochemical indicators, this product does not contain free phosphoric acid, phosphate monoesters, phosphate diesters, or bound phosphorus, which is a positive sign from an environmental perspective—it means it will not directly cause water eutrophication issues due to phosphorus emissions.

The heavy metal content of the product is controlled at a low level (total lead, mercury, cadmium, etc. ≤10 mg\/kg), arsenic content ≤2 mg\/kg, and active matter content is as high as over 99%, indicating high purity and low impurities. These indicators generally meet the basic environmental compliance requirements of most industrial application scenarios. However, it is important to note that the database does not include the certification status or declaration of conformity of this product with specific regulations (such as EU REACH, RoHS, or current Chinese environmental standards).

In terms of waste disposal, the product safety instructions clearly state that spills should be treated as chemical waste and disposed of by qualified units, and must not be discharged into sewers or water bodies, reflecting the environmental management requirements throughout the entire chain from use to disposal. Overall, the low phosphorus, high purity, and low heavy metal characteristics of AC-1812 give it favorable initial environmental conditions. However, whether it can meet the specific environmental standards of your project or region needs to be verified item by item based on specific requirements.

Technical Parameters

The following are quantifiable indicators related to environmental assessment (data source: Guoli Chemical product database):

Indicator ItemValueEnvironmental Relevance Description
Active Matter Content≥99%High purity reduces impurity introduction and lowers environmental load
Total Heavy Metals≤10 mg\/kgCommon sensitive indicator in environmental regulations
Arsenic Content≤2 mg\/kgLimit control of toxic elements
Free Phosphoric Acid\/Phosphate Esters\/Bound PhosphorusNonePhosphorus-free formula reduces risk of water eutrophication
Iodine Value≤1Extremely low unsaturation, chemically stable, predictable degradation pathway

Regarding Test Reports

The Guoli Chemical product database currently does not include third-party test reports, SGS reports, or RoHS\/REACH compliance declarations for AC-1812. Test reports are generally customized service documents whose content depends on customer requirements (e.g., specific industry standards, export destination country regulations), and thus are not publicly available in the general product database.

To obtain test reports (such as heavy metal testing, halogen content, environmental compliance declarations, etc.), it is recommended to: directly contact Guoli Chemical's sales or technical support team, specifying the testing items and applicable standards you need (such as GB\/T, ISO, REACH, RoHS, etc.), so that the company can provide corresponding batch test reports or compliance declarations. Unopened original products have a shelf life of two years under appropriate storage conditions. It is recommended to confirm the matching of batch information when requesting documents.

Precautions

  • The above data on heavy metals and arsenic content are from Guoli Chemical's general product specifications. Minor fluctuations may exist between different batches. For details, please refer to the batch test report.
  • Thermal decomposition may produce irritating or toxic fumes. In actual wastewater treatment, attention should be paid to wastewater COD and biodegradability. It is recommended to conduct small-scale tests to verify process compatibility.
  • If you have specific environmental certification requirements (such as ZDHC, Bluesign, GOTS, or other textile industry environmental standards), please confirm product certification coverage with Guoli Chemical's technical department before purchase. The database currently has no such information.
