Refined Coconut Oil 6501-98%, Ninal - Does it meet environmental requirements? Can a test report be provided?

Refined Coconut Oil 6501-98% (Ninal) has certain environmental risks in terms of aquatic ecology (GHS Aquatic Hazard Category 3) and does not fully meet the "green and environmentally friendly" standard, but it is still a product permitted for use under regulations. Regarding test reports, the product database currently does not contain relevant documents; you need to contact Guoli Chemical directly.

Detailed Explanation

According to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), Refined Coconut Oil 6501-98% (Ninal) is classified as Hazardous to the aquatic environment, Category 3 (H412), i.e., "Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects." This means the product is not a non-toxic, harmless "green" surfactant and may have adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems after accumulation in the environment.

During operation and use, measures must be taken to prevent the product from entering sewers, surface water, and groundwater. In case of leakage, it should be absorbed with inert absorbent materials (such as sand, vermiculite) and disposed of as hazardous waste. It is prohibited to dispose of it together with household waste. Waste disposal must comply with local, national, and international regulations.

Nevertheless, Cocamide DEA (6501) is still widely used in the global detergent and personal care industry. Compared to some petroleum-based surfactants, its raw material, coconut oil, comes from natural renewable resources and has relatively better biodegradability. Under the premise of compliant use and proper waste disposal, its environmental risks are controllable.

Regarding Test Reports

This product database currently does not contain third-party test documents such as SGS test reports, RoHS/REACH compliance certificates, or biodegradability test reports for Refined Coconut Oil 6501-98%. For the following types of reports, it is recommended to directly contact the sales or technical department of Haian Guoli Chemical Co., Ltd.:

• Product Quality Inspection Report (COA)
• Safety Data Sheet (SDS/MSDS)
• Regulatory Compliance Statements such as RoHS, REACH
• Third-party Environmental Test Reports (e.g., biodegradability rate, aquatic toxicity test)

Application Suggestions

In scenarios pursuing environmentally friendly formulations, it is recommended to:

• Control the addition amount of 6501 to the minimum level required for thickening/stabilizing foam; typically, the recommended dosage is 1%~5% of the total formula
• Consider compounding with more readily biodegradable surfactants (such as Alkyl Polyglycoside APG, amino acid-based surfactants) to reduce the overall environmental load
• Industrial users should be equipped with wastewater treatment facilities to ensure discharged wastewater meets local environmental standards

Precautions

• Production waste liquid must not be directly discharged; it must be effectively treated before discharge meeting standards
• Empty packaging containers should be disposed of as hazardous waste by qualified units
• For detailed safety information, please refer to the product's Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
• This product is not listed in the "Catalog of Hazardous Chemicals" (2015 edition), and general transportation is not subject to hazardous chemical restrictions
