MOA-23 (AEO-23) performs well in terms of environmental compliance. This product belongs to nonionic fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, and the alkyl chain and polyoxyethylene ether chain in its molecular structure can gradually degrade in the natural environment. According to information from the Guoli Chemical product database, the product has good biodegradability, meeting the global development trend of environmentally friendly surfactants.
In terms of ecotoxicological assessment, MOA-23 (AEO-23) has an acute oral toxicity LD50 for rats of > 2000 mg\/kg, belonging to the low toxicity level; the acute toxicity LC50 for fish is 10–100 mg\/L, also classified as low toxicity. The water hazard class is rated as WGK 1 (slightly hazardous to water), indicating that under the premise of standardized use and discharge management, the product's impact on the aquatic ecological environment is controllable.
It should be noted that although the product itself has good environmental indicators, it is strictly prohibited to directly discharge untreated wastewater containing this product into water bodies, drainage systems, or onto the ground. Industrial users should equip corresponding wastewater treatment measures to ensure that discharge meets local environmental regulations.
The product database currently does not contain test reports that can be directly downloaded online (such as COA factory inspection reports, SGS test reports, RoHS\/REACH compliance declarations, etc.). Actual test reports are usually updated with batches, including batch numbers, production dates, tested parameters (e.g., hydroxyl value, cloud point, pH value, moisture content, etc.) and quality inspection stamps. It is recommended to obtain them through the following methods:
For customers with environmental certification needs (e.g., applying for EU Ecolabel, Blue Angel certification, green factory evaluation, etc.), the biodegradability and low toxicity characteristics of MOA-23 (AEO-23) provide a good basis for environmental declaration in formulations. It is recommended to explicitly request biodegradability test reports and VOC\/SVOC test reports when purchasing to meet environmental audit material requirements.
