Oleic Acid Polyoxyethylene Ester A-105 (OEO-105) is a non-ionic surfactant with stable chemical properties and is non-flammable, ensuring good safety during storage and transportation. To ensure product quality remains unaffected during storage, the following key storage principles should be followed: The preferred environment is a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse, away from heat sources, sparks, and open flames; the container must be kept sealed, and should be promptly closed after opening to prevent moisture absorption or foreign matter contamination.
Temperature control is a critical element in storage management. It is recommended that the storage temperature not exceed 40°C, while also avoiding high temperatures and direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to excessively hot environments may cause the product to darken in color or undergo changes in physicochemical properties, affecting subsequent performance. Additionally, the product should be strictly separated from strong oxidizers (such as peroxides, concentrated nitric acid, permanganates, etc.) to avoid contact that could trigger unnecessary chemical reactions.
The choice of packaging material is equally important. It is recommended to use compatible materials such as stainless steel, polyethylene, or steel drums with inner coatings, and attention should be paid to avoiding prolonged contact with metals such as copper and aluminum. The storage area should also be equipped with spill containment facilities (such as trays or berms) to effectively prevent material leakage and spread in case of packaging damage.
| Storage Element | Specific Requirement |
|---|---|
| Environmental Conditions | Cool, dry, well-ventilated, avoiding high temperatures and direct sunlight |
| Temperature Range | Recommended not to exceed 40°C |
| Container Status | Keep sealed, close promptly after opening to prevent moisture absorption or foreign matter contamination |
| Substances to Keep Away From | Heat sources, sparks, open flames; strong oxidizers (peroxides, concentrated nitric acid, permanganates, etc.) |
| Compatible Materials | Stainless steel, polyethylene, steel drums with inner coatings; avoid prolonged contact with copper and aluminum |
| Safety Facilities | Equip with spill containment facilities such as trays or berms |
| Flammability | Non-flammable, but conventional anti-static measures (equipment grounding and equipotential bonding) should still be taken |
In actual warehouse management, it is recommended to store A-105 (OEO-105) in an indoor dedicated chemical raw material warehouse, avoiding outdoor stacking. If short-term storage at the workshop site is necessary for production needs, a container with a lid should be used and placed in a dedicated area away from heat sources. At low temperatures in winter, the product may solidify or stratify, which is a normal physical change. Before use, gentle heating under conditions not exceeding 40°C and stirring evenly can restore its original performance without affecting product quality.
