The storage conditions of Emulsifier A-105 (Nonylphenol polyoxyethylene (10) ether) directly affect its product quality and performance. The product is packaged in sealed iron drums or IBC totes and should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse, away from heat sources, sparks, and open flames, and protected from direct sunlight. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be promptly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption or contamination, which could affect subsequent use.
During storage, this product should be kept separately from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers, strong acids, and strong alkalis to avoid adverse reactions. It is recommended to keep the storage temperature not exceeding 40°C (below the flash point >150°C) and to avoid drastic temperature fluctuations. Spill containment trays or secondary containment should be provided in the storage area to prevent accidental leakage from entering drains or water bodies, which could harm the aquatic environment. Regular inspection of container integrity is also crucial; if any container is found to be damaged or leaking, the material should be immediately transferred to a safe container and properly disposed of.
Regarding the shelf life, the product database does not provide a specific numerical value. Generally, under strict adherence to the aforementioned recommended storage conditions, nonionic surfactants are chemically stable and can maintain good performance for an extended period. It is recommended that users refer to the shelf life information indicated on the product certificate of conformity or label, or directly contact Hai'an Guoli Chemical Co., Ltd. to confirm the specific shelf life of this batch.
