Emulphor/O-8 should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated dedicated warehouse, with a storage temperature not exceeding 30°C, relative humidity not exceeding 75%, and the container should be kept sealed and away from fire and heat sources.

Detailed Description

Emulphor/O-8 (fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene (8) ether), as a nonionic surfactant, has storage conditions that directly affect the quality stability and performance of the product. This product appears as a white to slightly yellow paste or flake, and under improper storage conditions, it may absorb moisture, discolor, or degrade in performance. Therefore, strict adherence to storage specifications is crucial.

The storage environment should be a cool, dry, well-ventilated dedicated warehouse, avoiding direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays and high temperatures in sunlight may cause slow oxidation of the product, leading to color deepening and degradation of active ingredients. The warehouse temperature should be controlled below 30°C, and relative humidity should not exceed 75%. Excessive humidity will cause the product to absorb moisture and cake, affecting subsequent feeding and dispersion.

The container must be kept sealed to prevent moisture absorption or volatilization. The product should be stored separately from oxidizers, acids, and edible chemicals, and mixing storage is strictly prohibited. The storage area should be equipped with appropriate types and quantities of fire-fighting equipment and leak emergency treatment equipment. Inventory management follows the first-in-first-out principle, and the storage period should be in accordance with the product label instructions.

Precautions

  • Handle with care during transportation to prevent packaging damage that could lead to product leakage or moisture absorption.
  • No smoking in the workplace, and keep away from fire and heat sources.
  • If leakage occurs, for small leaks, absorb with inert materials such as sand, vermiculite, etc., and collect in a sealed container; for large leaks, build dikes to contain the spill, preventing entry into sewers, surface water, or soil.
  • Operators should undergo specialized training and strictly follow operating procedures.
