PEG400MO (Polyethylene Glycol 400 Monooleate) has good environmental compliance—according to GHS and EU CLP regulations, this product is not classified as an environmentally hazardous substance, has low aquatic ecotoxicity, and is an environmentally friendly nonionic surfactant.

Detailed Explanation

PEG400MO (Polyethylene Glycol 400 Monooleate, CAS No.: 9004-96-0) performs excellently in terms of environmental compliance. According to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) and EU CLP regulations, this product is not classified as a physical hazard, health hazard, or environmental hazard substance. This means that under normal use conditions, this product does not pose significant harm to the environment and meets current mainstream chemical environmental management requirements.

From an ecotoxicological data perspective, PEG400MO has extremely low acute toxicity to aquatic organisms: the 96-hour acute toxicity test on zebrafish shows an LC₅₀ greater than 100 mg/L, and the 48-hour acute toxicity test on Daphnia magna shows an EC₅₀ also greater than 100 mg/L. According to the UN GHS classification criteria, substances with LC₅₀/EC₅₀ greater than 100 mg/L are not classified as "harmful to aquatic organisms," so this product falls into the low-concern category in terms of environmental toxicity classification. Additionally, it is recommended to dispose of this product through incineration or biological treatment methods, indicating good biodegradability potential.

In terms of heavy metal and harmful element control, the heavy metal content in this product is ≤10 mg/kg, and the arsenic content is ≤2 mg/kg, meeting strict environmental indicator requirements. It should be noted that although the product itself has low ecotoxicity, large undiluted spills should be prevented from directly entering water bodies or soil environments. Users should comply with local environmental regulations for waste management.

Summary of Ecological and Environmental Indicators

Item Indicator/Result Assessment
GHS Environmental Hazard Classification Not classified as an environmentally hazardous substance Compliant
Acute Fish Toxicity (Zebrafish, 96h) LC₅₀ > 100 mg/L Low toxicity
Aquatic Invertebrate Toxicity (Daphnia magna, 48h) EC₅₀ > 100 mg/L Low toxicity
Heavy Metal Content ≤10 mg/kg Meets environmental requirements
Arsenic Content ≤2 mg/kg Meets environmental requirements
Recommended Waste Disposal Method Incineration or biological treatment Environmentally treatable

Regarding Test Reports

Regarding the test report you inquired about, the product technical parameters listed in the current Guoli Chemical product database (as shown in the table above) can serve as reference for product quality and environmental performance. If you require formal third-party test reports (such as RoHS, REACH compliance reports, or ecotoxicity test reports issued by organizations like SGS or CTI), it is recommended that you directly contact the sales or technical service department of Hai'an Guoli Chemical Co., Ltd. According to your specific application scenario and compliance needs, Guoli Chemical can provide batch-specific quality inspection reports (COA) or commission third parties to issue special test reports.

Notes

  • Ecotoxicological data is based on acute exposure assessment under standard laboratory conditions; sustained large-scale release may contribute to local water eutrophication.
  • Waste disposal should comply with local, regional, and national environmental regulations, and be handled by qualified professional waste treatment companies.
  • Different downstream application areas (e.g., cosmetics, pesticides, industrial cleaning) may have specific environmental regulatory requirements; please refer to the end product compliance requirements.
