Peregal O-80 (fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether), as a nonionic surfactant, its storage conditions directly affect product quality and performance. The product is a white to slightly yellow flake or waxy solid, and its physical form is influenced by temperature: it may soften at high temperatures and harden at low temperatures. Therefore, extreme temperatures and drastic temperature changes should be strongly avoided to maintain consistent product appearance and properties.
In terms of storage facility configuration, the floor should be equipped with dikes or anti-leakage designs to prevent material from spreading into drains or the environment in the event of a leak. The warehouse should be located away from food, beverages, and animal feed storage areas, while also avoiding direct sunlight and rain exposure. It is recommended to follow the "first-in, first-out" inventory management principle to ensure the product is used within its shelf life and to prevent performance degradation from long-term storage.
Management of packaging and containers is equally important. The product should be immediately resealed after opening, keeping the packaging container closed to prevent moisture absorption or contamination by impurities. It is recommended to use the original container or compatible containers (such as stainless steel, high-density polyethylene containers). In addition, Peregal O-80 must be stored separately away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizing agents (e.g., peroxides, permanganates), strong acids, and strong alkalis. If co-storage with other chemicals is necessary, a risk assessment must be conducted in advance.

In actual warehouse management, it is recommended to store Peregal O-80 in a dry area of an indoor dedicated chemical warehouse, avoiding locations near doors, windows, or vents where temperature and humidity fluctuations are significant. If the product hardens due to low temperatures, it can be moved to room temperature to gradually return to normal before use; never use open flames or direct heating to accelerate softening. For opened packages, it is recommended to use a sealing clip or re-tighten the inner bag after taking material, and the outer container lid should also be tightly closed.
