The detergent AR-812 is a non-ionic surfactant primarily composed of fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether. From toxicological and ecological perspectives, this product exhibits excellent safety and environmental characteristics. According to product safety data, its acute oral toxicity (LD₅₀) in rats is greater than 5000 mg/kg, indicating it is a low-toxicity substance; its skin irritation index is less than 0.5, and its eye irritation score is 0, demonstrating no irritation to skin or eyes. The product has a closed-cup flash point above 150°C, making it non-flammable and presenting a very low fire risk during storage and use.
In terms of the environment, the biodegradability of detergent AR-812 is ≥ 90% (tested by OECD 301B method), classifying it as readily biodegradable. It can be effectively decomposed by microorganisms in the natural environment and does not accumulate in ecosystems over the long term. Additionally, the product is explicitly free of alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ethers (APEO), meeting the requirements of EU REACH regulations and international environmental standards, and has minimal harm to aquatic ecosystems. The production and use of this product do not involve hazardous chemical classification, making it a green and environmentally friendly industrial auxiliary.
Although the product itself is relatively safe, basic protective measures are still recommended during handling: wear protective gloves and chemical safety goggles, avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact to prevent defatting and drying; use in well-ventilated areas to avoid aerosol formation and inhalation; wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after operation. In case of leakage, use inert adsorbent materials such as sand or vermiculite for collection and disposal, and prevent entry into drains or natural water bodies.

Given the low toxicity, non-irritating, and readily biodegradable properties of detergent AR-812, it is particularly suitable for applications with high safety and environmental requirements: textile printing and dyeing pretreatment and soaping processes, degreasing of metal parts, cleaning around food processing equipment (with thorough rinsing), and paper machine felt cleaning. Its good compatibility also allows flexible compounding with anionic, cationic, and other non-ionic auxiliaries to formulate cleaning recipes that meet various industrial needs.
