Question

What are the storage conditions for Nongru 600, tristyrylphenol polyoxyethylene ether?

Answer

Nongru 600 should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 5–35°C, tightly sealed, protected from light, and away from heat sources, ignition sources, and incompatible substances

Detailed Description

Nongru 600 (tristyrylphenol polyoxyethylene ether), as a nonionic surfactant, requires special attention to temperature and humidity control and environmental isolation during storage. The product appears as a light yellow to brownish yellow viscous liquid, and its viscosity increases as temperature decreases. Therefore, fluidity may decrease under low-temperature conditions, but this does not affect the chemical performance of the product itself. During storage, the container should always be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption or deterioration due to reaction with moisture in the air.

The product is sensitive to light, heat, and strong oxidizing substances. Direct sunlight and high-temperature environments may accelerate oxidative degradation of the product, leading to decreased emulsifying performance. Therefore, it must be kept away from heat sources, ignition sources, and stored separately from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers, strong acids, and strong bases. In addition, the product is harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. The storage area must be equipped with dikes or spill containment pallets, and kept away from drainage systems, surface water bodies, and soil to prevent environmental pollution from accidental leaks.

Storage Management Suggestions

It is recommended to mark the production date and batch number upon product receipt, and follow the "first-in, first-out" principle for use. Regularly check container sealing and packaging integrity; if leakage or damage is found, immediately transfer to a spare container. The storage area should be equipped with necessary fire-fighting equipment (such as dry powder fire extinguishers, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers) and emergency response equipment. It is recommended to post GHS labels and safety data sheets outside the warehouse for quick hazard identification in emergencies.

Precautions

  • Avoid extreme temperatures. Freezing or overheating may cause product stratification or container damage. Do not use steam or open flames to directly heat the product.
  • Personnel entering the storage area should wear chemical safety goggles and protective gloves, and thoroughly wash hands after operation.
  • In case of product leakage, immediately use sand, vermiculite, or universal absorbent pads to contain and absorb the spill. Collect the absorbed material and dispose of it as hazardous waste through a qualified organization. Do not discharge into drains or water bodies.
