According to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) supplied by Guoli Chemical, octadecylamine polyoxyethylene ether AC-1820 is classified as Hazardous to the aquatic environment — Acute toxicity Category 3 (H402: Harmful to aquatic life), and may cause long-lasting harmful effects to aquatic organisms. This means that the product is not a completely environmentally friendly chemical, and strict control is required regarding wastewater discharge and protection of water bodies.
From an environmental compliance perspective, under normal industrial use conditions, AC-1820 must comply with the mandatory requirement "Do not discharge the product directly into the environment, drains or water bodies." When using this product, enterprises must have proper wastewater treatment facilities in place to ensure that discharges are properly treated before being released into the environment. If you need to assess whether this product complies with specific regional or industrial environmental regulations such as REACH or RoHS, there is currently no relevant certification information in the database. It is recommended to directly contact the technical department of Guoli Chemical for a targeted compliance statement.
It is worth mentioning that AC-1820 itself does not contain phosphorus, APEO (alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether) or other strictly banned components, which gives it a positive significance in replacing traditional high-pollution surfactants. However, its inherent aquatic toxicity risk cannot be ignored, and users should consider it comprehensively within the overall environmental assessment framework.
| Environmental Indicator | Classification/Description |
|---|---|
| Hazardous to aquatic environment — Acute toxicity | Category 3 (H402: Harmful to aquatic life) |
| GHS Pictogram | GHS07 (Exclamation mark) |
| Signal Word | Warning |
| Discharge control requirement | Do not discharge directly into the environment, drains or water bodies |
| Disposal method | As chemical waste, dispose of through a licensed professional waste disposal company via incineration or other compliant methods |
| APEO content | Not containing (not an alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether type product) |
Currently, the Guoli Chemical product database does not have an independent environmental test report for AC-1820 (such as biodegradability test report, aquatic toxicity test data, VOC test report, etc.) available for direct download. The standard Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a basic compliance document that is confirmed to be available, covering hazard overview, ecological information, and emergency response content.
If you need to obtain the following types of reports, it is recommended to submit a request through Guoli Chemical's official channels (sales or technical customer service):
Before obtaining an official test report, do not apply AC-1820 in scenarios that explicitly require "biodegradable" or "environmentally friendly" certification (such as certain green textile standards, ecological pesticide formulations, etc.). In industrial production, wastewater collection and treatment steps must be established, and untreated wastewater containing AC-1820 must not be directly discharged to avoid violating relevant regulations such as the "Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law."
