As a nonionic surfactant, Peregal O-3 (fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene (3) ether) is chemically stable, but to ensure consistent product quality, storage conditions are crucial. The product is typically packaged in clean iron drums, IBC totes, or dedicated liquid bags. Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life is 24 months from the date of production.
The core storage points are the "four prevents": prevent high temperature, prevent open flames, prevent moisture, and prevent foreign matter. Although Peregal O-3 is not highly flammable, it may release irritating or toxic fumes in a fire, so it must be kept away from heat sources, sparks, and open flames. Additionally, the product has some hygroscopicity; the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and entry of foreign matter, which could affect product performance and subsequent use effects.
| Storage Factor | Specific Requirement |
|---|---|
| Ambient Temperature | Store at room temperature, avoid extreme high or low temperatures |
| Light Conditions | Avoid direct sunlight |
| Ventilation Requirements | Cool, dry, and well-ventilated |
| Container Status | Keep container tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and entry of foreign matter |
| Items to Keep Away From | Keep away from heat sources, sparks, open flames; store separately from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers, strong acids, strong bases, etc. |
| Packaging Form | Clean iron drums, IBC totes, or dedicated liquid bags |
| Shelf Life | 24 months from date of production |
It is recommended to immediately seal the container after taking out the product to avoid prolonged exposure to air. If the product solidifies or precipitates due to low temperature, it can be naturally warmed to room temperature before normal use, without affecting product performance. For bulk purchasers, it is recommended to follow the "first-in, first-out" principle to ensure the product is used within its shelf life.
