Castor Oil Polyoxyethylene Ether EL-10 (CAS: 61791-12-6) is a non-hazardous, non-flammable liquid with a flash point greater than 150°C and relatively stable chemical properties. However, to ensure product quality and safety in use, standard storage management requirements must still be followed.
The storage environment should be cool, dry, and well-ventilated, avoiding direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays and excessive temperatures in sunlight may accelerate product oxidation, leading to color deepening or performance degradation. Additionally, it should be kept away from fire and heat sources. Although this product is non-flammable, it may still decompose at high temperatures or in flames, releasing irritating gases (such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide).
The container must be kept tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and external contamination. The product should be kept away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers and strong acids. The storage area should be equipped with spill emergency response equipment and suitable absorbent materials (such as dry sand, vermiculite, or universal absorbent pads), and should be stored separately from other materials according to general chemical storage guidelines, with labels kept clear and legible.
| Storage Element | Specific Requirements |
|---|---|
| Temperature Range | Recommended 0°C to 40°C, avoid high temperature or freezing |
| Light Conditions | Avoid direct sunlight, store in a cool place |
| Environmental Requirements | Dry, well-ventilated |
| Container Status | Keep tightly closed, prevent moisture and contamination |
| Substances to Avoid | Fire, heat sources, strong oxidizers, strong acids |
| Storage Method | Store separately from other materials, keep labels clear |
In actual use, if the product is exposed to low temperatures for a long time, it may become turbid or stratify. This is usually a physical change and does not affect the essential performance of the product. It is recommended to return the product to room temperature (15°C–30°C) before use and stir evenly to restore a transparent and uniform state. After opening, unused product should be sealed promptly to reduce prolonged contact with air.
