Pingpingjia O-80 is a non-ionic surfactant of practically non-toxic grade, with extremely low safety risk to humans, environmentally friendly and readily biodegradable.

Detailed Description

Pingpingjia O-80 (fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene (80) ether) is evaluated according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) and is not classified as a hazardous substance, requiring no pictogram or signal word. Under normal industrial use conditions, this product exhibits good safety for operators and the environment. Its acute toxicity has been verified by authoritative toxicological tests to be at a non-toxic level, and it is non-irritating to skin and eyes, non-sensitizing, and non-genotoxic, providing a wide process safety margin.

In terms of the environment, Pingpingjia O-80 also performs excellently. According to the OECD 301B ready biodegradability test, the product has a 28-day biodegradation rate of over 60%, making it readily biodegradable. Its LC50/EC50 values for aquatic organisms (fish, daphnia) are all greater than 100 mg/L, indicating low toxicity. Moreover, this product is not a PBT (Persistent, Bioaccumulative, Toxic) or vPvB (very Persistent, very Bioaccumulative) substance, and will not persist in the environment or bioaccumulate along the food chain.

In summary, Pingpingjia O-80 exhibits high safety and environmental friendliness to both human health and the ecological environment under standard operation, meeting the sustainability requirements of modern industry for green chemicals.

Application Recommendations

Although Pingpingjia O-80 has low impact on humans and the environment, it is still recommended to follow standard operating procedures in industrial applications to ensure personnel safety and environmental protection:

  • Maintain good ventilation in the workplace, and install local exhaust ventilation in processes that generate dust or spray.
  • Wear particulate respirator, nitrile rubber gloves, chemical safety goggles, and chemical protective clothing during operation.
  • Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work; thoroughly wash hands and exposed skin after handling.
  • Store in a cool, dry place at 0°C to 40°C with relative humidity not exceeding 70%, away from strong oxidizers, strong acids, and strong bases.

Precautions

Although Pingpingjia O-80 itself is not a flammable substance, packaging materials may burn in a fire and release toxic fumes. Firefighters should wear self-contained positive pressure respirators and full protective equipment. Waste disposal should be sent to authorized chemical treatment facilities, do not discharge into drains or environmental waters. All operations and disposal should comply with relevant local, national, and international regulations.
