AC-1830 (CAS: 26635-75-6) is a nonionic surfactant derived from fatty amines, possessing weak cationic characteristics. Its unique dual-ion property gives the product broad substrate affinity, maintaining stable performance under acidic, alkaline, and high-hardness water conditions, and exhibiting good compounding compatibility with anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants.
The product appears as a light yellow to yellow paste or solid (the form changes with temperature, which is a normal physical phenomenon). Through excellent interfacial adsorption ability, it achieves efficient emulsification, dispersion, wetting, and spreading, making it a multifunctional compatible core additive component in industrial formulations.

Textile Printing and Dyeing: Used as a leveling agent (retarding and migrating dyeing to reduce color spots and shade differences) and antistatic agent (reducing static electricity accumulation on synthetic fibers, improving spinnability and fabric hand feel).
Agricultural Chemical Formulations: Used as a highly effective nonionic emulsifier to stably disperse oily pesticide active ingredients in water, forming a uniform emulsion to enhance drug efficacy utilization and storage stability.
Metal Processing and Rust Prevention: Acts as a corrosion inhibitor to form a protective film on metal surfaces to suppress corrosion, and also as a lubricant component to reduce friction and processing temperature during cutting and drawing processes.
Daily Chemicals: Added to laundry detergents and fabric softeners, it reduces static electricity through fiber surface adsorption, improving fabric softness and rewettability.
Industrial Cleaning: Used as a nonionic surfactant in metal degreasing and hard surface cleaning formulations, with strong wetting and penetration ability, high efficiency in removing oil stains, low foaming, and easy rinsing.
