Octadecylamine polyoxyethylene ether AC-1830 (CAS No.: 26635-75-6), as a nonionic surfactant, exhibits its environmental performance mainly in the following aspects: the product is designed to be low-foaming, easy to rinse off in industrial cleaning applications, thereby reducing water consumption and wastewater treatment load. According to the product database of Guoli Chemical, the heavy metal content of this product is controlled at ≤10 mg/kg, arsenic content ≤2 mg/kg, and no free phosphoric acid or combined phosphorus is detected. These indicators are at a relatively good level in the industry, helping to reduce potential impacts on aquatic ecosystems.
It should be objectively pointed out that the biodegradability of fatty amine polyoxyethylene ether surfactants is generally lower than that of linear alcohol ether nonionic surfactants, and their degradation rate is affected by the degree of ethoxylation (EO number). AC-1830 has an EO number of 30, making it a highly ethoxylated product. Its initial biodegradation rate is relatively slow, but it can achieve a certain degree of degradation eventually. If the end product needs to comply with EU REACH regulations, China's "Measures for the Environmental Management of New Chemical Substances", or specific industry environmental certifications (such as BlueSign, OEKO-TEX, etc.), it is recommended to confirm the specific compliance status with Guoli Chemical's technical team.
The flash point of the product is >200°C (closed cup), which is not classified as a flammable dangerous good, and the risk of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions during storage, transportation, and use is low. The pH value of a 1% aqueous solution of the product is 6.0~8.0, which is close to neutral and will not significantly affect the pH of water bodies. Overall, under the premise of following operating procedures and properly treating wastewater, this product can meet the environmental requirements for general industrial applications.
| Environmentally Related Indicators | Test Data | Reference Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Total heavy metals | ≤10 mg/kg | Meets general industrial auxiliary requirements |
| Arsenic content | ≤2 mg/kg | Reaches the safety level for daily chemical raw materials |
| Free phosphoric acid | None | Will not cause eutrophication of water bodies |
| Combined phosphorus | None | Phosphorus-free formula with good compatibility |
| Water content | ≤1.0% | High active content, reducing emission of inactive components |
| Flash point (closed cup) | >200°C | Non-flammable, low VOC emission risk |
| pH of 1% aqueous solution | 6.0~8.0 | Nearly neutral, minimal impact on water body pH |
| Foam characteristics | Low foaming | Easy to rinse, reducing wastewater treatment difficulty |
