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.
