Hydrogenated castor oil polyoxyethylene ether HEL-40 meets environmental protection requirements, has good biodegradability, and poses a low risk to the aquatic ecological environment.

\n\n

Detailed Description

\n\n

Hydrogenated castor oil polyoxyethylene ether HEL-40 (CAS No.: 61788-85-0) is a nonionic surfactant produced by ethoxylation using natural hydrogenated castor oil as raw material. Its environmental performance meets the mainstream requirements of current green chemical products.

\n\n

According to product ecological information, this product has good biodegradability, complying with relevant OECD standards, and is not classified as a persistent organic pollutant. At the same time, this product does not have significant bioaccumulation potential, meaning it does not progressively accumulate in organisms through the food chain, resulting in low long-term risks to the ecosystem. At recommended usage concentrations, this product is harmless to aquatic organisms and is a surfactant variety that is friendly to the aquatic environment.

\n\n

Furthermore, from the perspective of raw material sources, HEL-40 is prepared by hydrogenation modification of natural castor oil followed by ethoxylation. The raw material has strong renewability, offering better sustainability characteristics compared to fully synthetic petroleum-based surfactants. In terms of product safety classification, this product is not classified as a hazardous substance under GHS classification and does not require mandatory hazard labeling, which also indirectly reflects its high environmental friendliness.

Regarding Test Reports

\n\n

Regarding the test report you are concerned about, I have not found any specific test report file available for direct download for this product in the database at present. As a regular chemical manufacturer, Guoli Chemical can usually provide customers with the following types of product quality documents:

\n\n
    \n
  • Certificate of Analysis (COA): Quality test data for each batch of product
  • \n
  • Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS\/SDS): Contains safety, health, and environmental information
  • \n
  • Third-party test reports: Such as biodegradability tests, heavy metal content tests, etc.
  • \n
\n\n

Recommendations for Obtaining

\n\n

It is recommended that you obtain the official test report through the following channels:

\n
    \n
  • Contact the sales or technical department of Haian Guoli Chemical Co., Ltd. directly, stating that you need the environmental test report for the HEL-40 product
  • \n
  • Specify the type of report required (e.g., biodegradability report, RoHS testing, REACH compliance declaration, etc.) to ensure accurate provision
  • \n
  • For bulk purchases, you can request that batch quality inspection reports be included with the shipment
  • \n
