Emulsifier A-110 (Oleic Acid Polyoxyethylene Ester · OEO-110) is a nonionic surfactant with stable chemical properties. It is not classified as a hazardous substance, so special storage controls are not required. However, its appearance and performance are significantly affected by temperature: temperatures that are too low (below 5°C) may cause the product to solidify or become viscous, affecting ease of use; temperatures that are too high (above 35°C) may accelerate oxidation, leading to darkening of color or reduced performance.
During storage, it is essential to keep the container sealed to prevent moisture absorption or contamination by dust and impurities. Since this product has some hygroscopicity, prolonged exposure to humid air may increase its moisture content, thereby affecting its effectiveness in formulations. Additionally, contact with strong oxidizing agents should be strictly avoided to prevent chemical reactions that could degrade the product.
It is recommended to set up pallets or containment berms in the storage area to effectively contain and prevent the spread of accidental spills. At the same time, general principles of chemical storage should be followed, keeping it away from food and feed and implementing segregated storage management.
| Parameter | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Storage Environment | Cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse |
| Recommended Storage Temperature | 5°C to 35°C |
| Temperature Restrictions | Prevent freezing (<5°C) or excessive heat (>35°C) to avoid product deterioration |
| Container Status | Keep sealed |
| Substances to Avoid | Strong oxidizing agents |
| Warehouse Facilities | Set up pallets or containment berms to prevent spill spread |
| Segregation Requirements | Avoid mixing storage with food and feed |
| Hazard Classification | Non-hazardous (GHS classification: non-hazardous substance or mixture) |
| Ignition Source Control | Keep away from fire and heat sources |
In actual use, if the product solidifies or becomes viscous due to low temperature, do not heat directly with an open flame. It is recommended to place the sealed container in a warm environment for slow temperature recovery, or use a warm water bath (≤35°C) for gentle heating with proper stirring. Once it returns to a fluid state, it can be used normally without affecting product performance.
After each use, promptly seal the container to minimize contact with air. For long-term bulk storage, it is recommended to follow the "first in, first out" principle and prioritize using earlier batches within the shelf life.
