MOA-12 (Laureth-12) is a nonionic surfactant, appearing as a white to light yellow paste or waxy solid with good physical stability. Proper storage conditions are crucial for maintaining the product's emulsifying, wetting, and detergency properties. Improper storage may lead to product stratification, discoloration, or performance degradation.
The storage environment should be cool, dry, and well-ventilated. The container must be kept tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Although this product is not flammable, it should still be kept away from heat sources, sparks, and open flames. It is recommended to manage it separately from combustible materials to minimize safety hazards.
| Storage Element | Specific Requirement |
|---|---|
| Container Condition | Keep tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination |
| Environmental Requirement | Cool, dry, well-ventilated |
| Recommended Temperature | 5–40°C |
| Incompatible Materials | Strong oxidizers, strong acids, strong alkalis |
| Fire Source Management | Away from heat sources, sparks, and open flames |
| Shelf Life (Unopened) | 24 months |
If the product freezes under low-temperature conditions, it does not need to be discarded. Slowly thaw the frozen product to room temperature (do not use open flames or high heat for rapid heating). After complete thawing, stir thoroughly to restore product performance, and it can still be used normally. If the storage temperature exceeds 40°C, it may accelerate oxidation or cause color deepening, which should be avoided as much as possible.
