The storage conditions of Octadecylamine Polyoxyethylene Ether AC-1815 are directly related to product quality stability and usage effectiveness. This product appears as white to light yellow waxy solid or pasty mass, easily absorbing moisture and caking under high temperature or high humidity, affecting metering and dissolution performance during use. Therefore, sealing and moisture-proofing are the primary principles of storage management.
The product is usually packaged in cardboard drums or woven bags with inner plastic bags. If not used up after opening, the inner bag must be tightly tied and the outer packaging closed to avoid prolonged exposure to air. The warehouse should be away from fire sources, avoid direct sunlight, and be equipped with good ventilation. Meanwhile, this product should be stored away from strong oxidizing agents separately to prevent harmful chemical reactions.
When stored under specified conditions and with intact unopened packaging, the shelf life of this product can be up to 12 months. For products beyond the shelf life, it is recommended to conduct small-scale tests to verify key indicators such as emulsifying power and wettability before deciding whether to continue use.
