Oleyl Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether OV-10 is a chemically relatively stable nonionic surfactant, but proper storage is crucial to maintain its product performance and extend its service life. According to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided by Guoli Chemical, this product should be kept in a sealed container, stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid any sources of heat, sparks, and open flames to prevent potential fire hazards and degradation due to high temperatures.
In terms of chemical compatibility, the product must be kept away from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, strong bases, and other incompatible substances. Although the product itself has a certain stability under acidic or alkaline conditions, contact with incompatible substances may cause violent reactions or render it ineffective. It is recommended to use corrosion-resistant storage containers, such as stainless steel or polyethylene (PE) drums, and clearly label the product name and hazard information on the drum for visual management.
Regarding shelf life, the official technical specifications do not provide this parameter. Typically, under strict adherence to the above storage conditions and with intact packaging, the shelf life of such nonionic surfactants can reach 24 months. To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to follow the "first in, first out" inventory management principle. If any abnormalities such as stratification, increased turbidity, significant color darkening, or off-odors are observed before use, stop using and perform quality testing.

The quality of storage conditions directly affects the product's performance in subsequent applications. To ensure its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing capabilities, please note the following application details:
This product is classified as GHS07 (Warning), may cause skin irritation (H315) and serious eye irritation (H319). During handling and repackaging, operators should always wear impervious gloves and protective goggles. The storage area must be equipped with spill containment facilities and emergency shower equipment to deal with accidental leaks or personnel contact incidents. Empty packaging drums may still contain product residues and should be treated equally as hazardous waste for disposal, never discard arbitrarily or repurpose them.
