Peregal O-50/100 (Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, CAS number: 68439-49-6) exhibits excellent environmental performance. According to product safety data, it has low toxicity to aquatic organisms (EC50/LC50 >100 mg/L) and does not fall into the acute aquatic toxicity category, meaning that under normal use and discharge conditions, it will not cause acute harm to the aquatic ecological environment.
This product has good biodegradability and can be gradually decomposed by microorganisms in the natural environment without long-term accumulation in the ecosystem. At the same time, the product itself is non-toxic, non-irritating to the skin, and does not belong to any physical hazard category. It is not classified as a dangerous chemical by GHS, with overall high safety, conforming to the environmental trends of current green chemistry and sustainable development, and can be safely used in consumer product formulations that come into indirect contact with the human body.
The product is synthesized by addition polymerization of natural fatty alcohols (C₁₆~C₁₈) with ethylene oxide. The raw materials are natural and renewable. The molecular structure does not contain heavy metals, APEO (Alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether), or other internationally restricted substances, nor does it fall into the category of persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
