Cocamide DEA (6501-80%) has good storage stability under normal temperature and airtight conditions. The storage environment should be cool, dry, and ventilated. The container must be kept sealed to prevent moisture absorption or contamination. The product should avoid high-temperature environments and prolonged exposure to heat sources above 120°C, as this may cause decomposition or the generation of harmful substances.
The storage area should be equipped with anti-leakage bunds, and the floor is recommended to be constructed with corrosion-resistant materials to address potential leakage risks. Even empty containers may retain product vapors or residues and should be managed properly, not discarded arbitrarily or left open.
| Storage Condition | Specific Requirement |
|---|---|
| Temperature Range | 5°C to 40°C (Recommended) |
| Environmental Requirement | Cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse |
| Container Status | Keep sealed to avoid moisture and contamination |
| Prohibited Temperature | Avoid high temperatures; strictly prohibit prolonged exposure to heat sources above 120°C |
| Substances to Avoid | Strong oxidizers (e.g., peroxides, permanganates), strong acids (e.g., sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid), and nitrites |
| Special Prohibitions | Strictly prohibited from use or storage under nitrosating conditions (e.g., coexistence with nitrites in an acidic environment) to avoid the formation of potentially carcinogenic N-nitrosamine compounds |
| Area Facilities | Set up anti-leakage bunds, corrosion-resistant flooring |
In actual production and use, it is recommended to follow the "first-in, first-out" inventory management principle, regularly check container sealing and product appearance. If the product exhibits layering or turbidity after long-term storage, it can be appropriately stirred or heated to room temperature before use after confirming no contamination, without affecting its thickening, foam stabilizing, and emulsifying properties. However, if off-odors, significant discoloration, or mold growth occurs, immediately discontinue use and dispose of properly.
