Fatty amine polyoxyethylene ether AC-1860 (octadecylamine polyoxyethylene (60) ether) is chemically stable under normal storage conditions. However, to ensure product quality and safe use, the following storage guidelines must be strictly followed. This product should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated dedicated warehouse or tank, away from heat sources, sparks, and open flames. The recommended storage temperature range is 10°C–35°C. Avoid freezing and prolonged exposure to high temperatures, as freezing may cause structural changes in the product, while high temperatures may accelerate oxidation or darkening of the product.
During storage, the container must be kept tightly closed to prevent moisture ingress and contamination. Since this product can exhibit cationic properties in acidic media and has the general chemical properties of nonionic surfactants, it should be stored separately from strong oxidizing agents and strong acids to avoid unwanted chemical reactions. Additionally, the storage area should be equipped with spill containment facilities (e.g., spill trays) and emergency response equipment to handle accidental spills.
The packaging container material should be selected from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, polyethylene, or plastic-lined iron drums. Avoid using metal containers like copper or aluminum, as certain metal ions may catalyze the oxidative degradation of the product. In addition, comply with local regulations and standards for chemical storage, and ensure the storage area is away from drains, surface water, and groundwater channels to prevent water contamination in case of leakage.
| Storage Condition | Specific Requirement |
|---|---|
| Storage Temperature | 10°C – 35°C, avoid freezing and high temperature exposure |
| Storage Environment | Cool, dry, well-ventilated dedicated warehouse or tank |
| Container State | Keep tightly closed to prevent moisture and foreign matter ingress |
| Away from Heat Sources | Away from heat sources, sparks, and open flames |
| Isolated Substances | Store separately from strong oxidizing agents and strong acids |
| Recommended Container Material | Stainless steel, polyethylene, plastic-lined iron drums (avoid copper, aluminum) |
| Emergency Facilities | Equipped with spill trays and emergency response equipment |
It is recommended to establish a first-in, first-out inventory management system and regularly check the sealing and visual integrity of containers. If a container is found damaged or leaking, immediately transfer the contents to a sound spare container and clean up the spill area. Considering that this product is toxic to aquatic life (H401/H412), the spilled material must not enter drains, surface water, or groundwater. Use inert absorbent materials (e.g., sand, vermiculite) to collect and dispose of it as hazardous waste.
