Peregal O-10 (fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether-10, AEO-10) is a nonionic surfactant with stable chemical properties, resistant to acids, alkalis, and hard water. The product itself is non-flammable. However, according to GHS hazard classification, this product falls under Skin corrosion/irritation Category 2 (H315: Causes skin irritation) and Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2 (H319: Causes serious eye irritation), with the hazard symbol GHS07 (exclamation mark) and the signal word "Warning". Therefore, its potential irritation risks should not be overlooked during routine operations.
During handling, ensure the work area is well-ventilated to avoid the formation of inhalable aerosols or dust accumulation. Operators must wear appropriate personal protective equipment at all times, including chemical safety goggles or face shield, impermeable gloves (such as nitrile rubber gloves), protective clothing, and slip-resistant work shoes. After handling, wash hands, forearms, face, and other potentially exposed areas promptly and thoroughly. Smoking, eating, and drinking are strictly prohibited in the work area to prevent ingestion via hand-to-mouth contact. In the event of a spill, clean up immediately according to spill emergency response procedures to prevent slip hazards and avoid spreading the material to non-work areas.
Peregal O-10 may exhibit a cloud point phenomenon at elevated temperatures (a nonionic surfactant aqueous solution turns turbid when heated to a certain temperature). This is a normal physical change and does not affect the chemical nature of the product, but in formulations requiring a transparent appearance, attention should be paid to the use temperature range. Additionally, this product has good compatibility and can be compounded with nonionic, anionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants. However, it is recommended to conduct a small-scale compatibility test before compounding to ensure system compatibility and stability.

In case of skin or eye contact, immediately take the following emergency actions:
Peregal O-10 is a non-hazardous substance with no special fire or explosion risks. However, dust or aerosols generated from product dispersion may pose a combustion risk under certain conditions; avoid generating excessive dust or aerosols during handling. If any discomfort occurs during use, stop work immediately and seek medical assistance. All operators should receive specialized training before starting work to fully understand the hazardous characteristics and emergency response methods for this product.
