Peregal O-10 (fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether) is a nonionic surfactant with stable chemical properties, but its performance may still change under improper storage conditions. To ensure product quality and effectiveness, storage management should be carried out in strict accordance with the following requirements.
First, the storage environment should be a specialized warehouse that is cool, dry, and well-ventilated, avoiding direct sunlight and long-term ultraviolet exposure. The containers should be kept sealed in the warehouse to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. At the same time, the storage area must be away from fire and heat sources. Although Peregal O-10 itself is non-combustible, the dust or aerosol formed by its dispersion may pose a combustion risk under certain conditions, so fire prevention measures should not be neglected.
Secondly, attention should be paid to isolation from incompatible substances, especially chemicals such as strong oxidizers, strong acids, and strong alkalis, to avoid adverse reactions affecting product quality. In addition, prolonged exposure to high temperatures (above 40°C) or freezing (below 0°C) should be avoided. Low temperatures may cause the product to solidify or separate, while high temperatures may accelerate oxidation and degradation, affecting core properties such as emulsification and wetting.
| Storage Factor | Specific Requirement |
|---|---|
| Environmental Conditions | Cool, dry, well-ventilated specialized warehouse |
| Recommended Temperature | 10°C to 35°C |
| Temperatures to Avoid | Prolonged high temperature (>40°C) or freezing (<0°C) |
| Light Exposure | Avoid direct sunlight and long-term ultraviolet exposure |
| Container Status | Keep sealed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination |
| Keep Away From | Fire sources, heat sources, strong oxidizers, strong acids, strong alkalis |
In actual warehouse management, it is recommended to store Peregal O-10 by batch number in separate areas, following the "first-in, first-out" principle to avoid long-term accumulation of product. When stored in low-temperature areas in winter, if the product solidifies or becomes turbid, this is a normal physical change. Before use, the product can be placed in an environment above 15°C to naturally return to temperature, and stirred appropriately to restore uniform state without affecting performance.
For opened packages, they should be used up as soon as possible; if the contents cannot be consumed in one go, the inner bag should be re-tied tightly and the drum lid securely closed to minimize contact with air and moisture. It is recommended to record the opening date after each withdrawal to facilitate tracking the product status.
