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.
| Safety Indicator | Data | Conclusion |

| Acute oral toxicity (rat) | LD50 > 5000 mg/kg | Practically non-toxic |
| Acute dermal toxicity (rabbit) | LD50 > 2000 mg/kg | Low toxicity |
| Skin irritation index | Primary irritation index < 0.5 | Non-irritating |
| Eye irritation | Negative test result | Non-irritating |
| Skin sensitization | Negative | Non-sensitizing |
| Genotoxicity (Ames test) | Negative | Non-mutagenic |
| Aquatic toxicity (fish/daphnia) | LC50/EC50 > 100 mg/L | Low toxicity to aquatic organisms |
| Biodegradability (OECD 301B) | 28-day degradation rate > 60% | Readily biodegradable |
| PBT/vPvB assessment | Not belonging | No persistence or bioaccumulation |
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:
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.
