OS-15 (AEO-15), with the chemical name fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene (15) ether, is a non-ionic surfactant and appears as a white waxy solid at room temperature. Due to its special chemical structure, correct storage conditions are crucial for maintaining product performance stability. Improper storage may lead to moisture absorption, discoloration, or performance degradation.
The product should be stored in a dedicated warehouse, with containers kept tightly closed at all times to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. The storage area should be equipped with spill containment facilities (e.g., trays), and packaging should be intact and labeled with the product name and safety markings. Avoid mixing storage with strong oxidizers, strong acids, and strong alkalis. Regularly inspect inventory status to ensure product quality.
If the product freezes under low-temperature conditions, allow it to naturally thaw at room temperature; do not use open flames to heat it, as this may cause product decomposition or safety accidents.

In practical applications, OS-15 (AEO-15) is widely used in industrial and household detergents, textile printing and dyeing leveling agents, papermaking deinking agents, leather processing auxiliaries, metal surface cleaners, cosmetic emulsifiers, and pesticide emulsifiers, among other fields. It is recommended to check whether the product appearance is normal (should be a white waxy solid) before use. If abnormal color, stratification, or odor is observed, discontinue use. After opening, unused product should be promptly sealed to avoid prolonged exposure to humid air.
