Peregal O-15 (fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene (15) ether) is a white to slightly yellow flake or paste nonionic surfactant. Its storage conditions directly affect the product's quality stability and performance. Proper storage can effectively prevent the product from absorbing moisture, caking, deteriorating, or undergoing polymerization, ensuring that its application effects in textile printing and dyeing, industrial cleaning, cosmetics, and other fields are not compromised.
The storage environment should be a dedicated, cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse, avoiding direct sunlight and high-temperature environments. Flake or paste products may soften, melt, or undergo phase changes at excessively high temperatures, which not only affects the accuracy of subsequent material feeding but may also accelerate oxidative degradation. Explosion-proof ventilation and lighting equipment should be used in the warehouse, and fire and heat sources must be eliminated. Although the product is not significantly flammable or explosive, standard industrial safety regulations should still be strictly followed.
Containers must be kept tightly closed to prevent the product from absorbing moisture and water from the air, while also keeping out dust and foreign matter. The storage area should be separated from incompatible substances such as oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong alkalis, and mixing storage is strictly prohibited to prevent harmful chemical reactions. In addition, the storage area should be equipped with spill containment devices and suitable types of fire extinguishing equipment to deal with emergencies.
| Storage Factor | Specific Requirements |
|---|---|
| Ambient Temperature | Cool environment; comply with specified storage temperature to prevent product deterioration or polymerization |
| Ambient Humidity | Dry and moisture-proof; avoid product moisture absorption and caking |
| Ventilation Conditions | Well-ventilated warehouse; use explosion-proof ventilation equipment |
| Container Status | Keep tightly closed to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering |
| Fire Source Management | Keep away from fire and heat sources; eliminate open flames |
| Isolation Requirements | Store separately from incompatible substances such as oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong alkalis; avoid mixed storage |
| Emergency Facilities | Equip with spill containment devices and suitable fire extinguishing equipment |
When using Peregal O-15, it is recommended to follow the "first-in, first-out" inventory management principle to prevent the product from being stored beyond its shelf life. After taking out the material, the container should be immediately re-sealed to minimize the product's exposure time to the air. For flake products, if slight caking occurs due to improper storage, on the premise that no deterioration is confirmed, the product can be used after crushing treatment, but small-scale testing should be conducted to verify whether its performance has been affected.
