Product Operate Guide

For general applications, add AC-1820 to the formulation system at a dosage of 0.5–2.0% (based on total formulation weight). Stir well at room temperature or under moderate heating (below 60°C) to ensure uniform dispersion. Adjust the dosage as needed for specific processes.

FAQ

1. Is AC-1820 compatible with acidic systems?

   Yes, it demonstrates good stability in slightly acidic to neutral systems. For strong acidic environments, conduct a compatibility test first.

2. What's the shelf life?

   When stored in a cool, dry place, it has a shelf life of 24 months. Beyond that, re-test its performance before use.

3. Can it be used in food-related products?

   No, AC-1820 is designed for industrial use only and is not intended for food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic applications where direct human contact is involved.
