PEG200MO (Polyethylene Glycol 200 Monooleate, CAS: 9004-96-0) is produced by Guoli Chemical. From the chemical structure and toxicological data of the product itself, its environmental characteristics are relatively ideal. According to official product data, this product is not classified as a dangerous chemical under the United Nations' Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), which indicates that it is not considered a substance with significant harm to the environment during normal transportation, storage, and use.
In terms of ecotoxicology, PEG200MO has extremely low acute toxicity (rat oral LD₅₀ > 5000 mg/kg), falling into the low toxicity category. Its molecule consists of a polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain and naturally derived oleic acid. The PEG segment is generally considered biodegradable, and oleic acid, as a natural fatty acid, is also easily decomposed by environmental microorganisms. Therefore, PEG200MO is inherently an environmentally friendly nonionic surfactant. However, its final environmental compliance (e.g., whether it fully meets EU REACH certification or the emission standards of specific countries) needs to be assessed based on your specific application scenario, as it depends on the synergistic effects of other components in the formulation and the exposure risk assessment of the final product.
Regarding the test report you are concerned about, I am currently unable to directly retrieve uploaded third-party environmental test reports (such as SDS/MSDS reports, biodegradability test reports, REACH compliance declarations, etc.) from the database. Such controlled documents are usually issued separately by the manufacturer based on batch and customer requirements. Since different downstream applications (e.g., cosmetics, pesticides, industrial processing) have vastly different requirements for environmental testing, the most direct and effective way is to contact Guoli Chemical's sales or technical department, describe your specific application scenario and target market, and they will provide you with an accurate compliance statement or corresponding test report for this product.
To help you advance the environmental compliance assessment of PEG200MO, it is recommended to follow these steps:
The following are key indicators related to environmental protection and safety compiled from database information for your preliminary reference:
| Parameter | Value/Description | Environmental Significance |
|---|---|---|
| GHS Classification | Non-hazardous chemical | Indicates no significant harm to human health and the environment, with fewer restrictions on transportation and storage. |
| Acute Oral Toxicity (LD₅₀) | > 5000 mg/kg (rat) | Belongs to low toxicity substances, low risk of acute toxicity to aquatic organisms and mammals. |
| Biodegradability | Chemical structure contains PEG chain and natural oleic acid | Components are expected to have good to excellent primary and ultimate biodegradability (specific verification depends on test reports). |
| Heavy Metal Content | ≤ 10 ppm | Extremely low heavy metal content, meeting the requirements of most environmental regulations for hazardous substance limits. |
| Active Matter Content | ≥ 99.0% | High purity means very few inert by-products or impurities introduced into the environment. |
Note: The above data are all from the official database of Guoli Chemical.
