Fatty amine polyoxyethylene ether AC-1860 (octadecylamine polyoxyethylene (60) ether) is a high-performance nonionic surfactant that exhibits cationic characteristics in acidic media. With excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing capabilities, as well as outstanding stability against acids, alkalis, and hard water, it has been widely used in the following industries and processes.
This product is nonionic under normal conditions and can convert to cationic form in acidic systems. It usually appears as a light yellow to yellow-brown solid or paste, facilitating transportation and industrial operations.
| Industry field | Specific process/use | Core function |
|---|---|---|
| Textile dyeing and printing | Leveling agent, scouring and dyeing assistant | Exerts retarding and migrating effects in high-temperature high-pressure or normal temperature dyeing, reducing color spots and streaks, improving level dyeing effect |
| Industrial and household cleaning | Liquid laundry detergent, kitchen and bathroom cleaners, etc. | Strong emulsification and decontamination for various oil and grease stains, moderate foam |
| Metal processing | Cutting fluid, rust preventive fluid, inter-process corrosion inhibitor | Improves lubrication and cooling, forms a protective film on metal surfaces to inhibit corrosion |
| Pesticide formulation | Emulsifiable concentrates, emulsions in water, microemulsions emulsifier component | Enhances pesticide emulsion dispersion and spreadability, promotes wetting of plant leaf surfaces, improves efficacy |
| Chemical fibers | Spinning oil, durable antistatic finishing agent | Reduces friction between fiber and metal, eliminates static accumulation during synthetic fiber processing |
| Leather industry | Degreasing treatment agent | Gently penetrates and removes natural oils from hides, resulting in soft leather without surface looseness after degreasing |
| Coatings and adhesives | Pigment/filler dispersant, emulsion polymerization emulsifier component | Provides long-term dispersion and emulsion stabilization in water-based systems |
