Question

Is papermaking defoamer XS-02, a polyether ester defoamer, compliant with environmental requirements? Can a test report be provided?

Answer

Papermaking defoamer XS-02 meets environmental requirements, and multiple ecotoxicological data have confirmed its environmentally friendly characteristics

Detailed explanation

Papermaking defoamer XS-02 (polyether ester defoamer) was designed with full consideration of environmental compliance from the outset. According to the safety and ecological information in our company's product database, this product has low toxicity to aquatic organisms, with a 96-hour acute toxicity LC50 for fish greater than 100 mg/L, and is not easily bioaccumulative, readily biodegradable, and friendly to the aquatic ecological environment. The product itself is low-toxicity, non-irritating, and is a non-hazardous substance, not falling within the scope of dangerous chemicals, fully meeting the clean production requirements of the modern paper industry.

The main component of this product is polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene ether fatty acid ester (CAS number: 9004-81-3), which is a non-ionic surfactant. Under the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), this product is not a hazardous substance, has no explosiveness, no oxidizing properties, is a non-flammable liquid (closed cup flash point greater than 150°C), and poses no fire or explosion risk under normal storage, transportation, and use conditions, ensuring production safety and environmental safety from the source.

How to obtain the test report

The above environmental data are derived from routine quality testing and safety assessments of our company's products. To obtain an official Product Certificate of Analysis (COA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS/MSDS), or third-party environmental test report, please contact us in the following ways:

  • Contact Guoli Chemical Sales Department or Technical Department: Provide the type of report you need (COA / SDS / ROHS / REACH, etc.) and the batch number, and we will provide you with the official document stamped with the company seal.
  • Customized testing services: If you have specific environmental standard testing requirements (such as EU REACH regulations, RoHS directive, specific eco-label certification for the paper industry, etc.), our company can assist in arranging testing by a third-party authoritative organization and provide the report.
  • Routine batch data inquiry: The label on the outer packaging of the product barrel contains the batch number, and you can request the corresponding factory release inspection report from us at any time.

Precautions

  • Please obtain and read the complete Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use, and ensure that operations and waste discharge comply with local environmental regulations.
  • Although the product has excellent environmental performance, avoid direct discharge into natural water bodies without treatment to prevent local high concentrations from affecting aquatic ecology.
  • The data listed in the test report are based on the current batch of products, and the data sources are Guoli Chemical's quality inspection laboratory and cooperative third-party institutions, which are authentic and valid.
