PEG600DO (Polyethylene Glycol 600 Dioleate) has the following advantageous characteristics in terms of environmental compliance: First, according to GHS classification standards, this product is not classified as a dangerous chemical, with no flammability, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or reproductive toxicity risks. Second, its acute oral toxicity is extremely low (rat LD50 > 5000 mg/kg), making it a practically non-toxic substance with minimal direct harm to the ecological environment. Furthermore, the product has certain biodegradability and can gradually decompose in the natural environment without causing persistent pollution accumulation.
In terms of controlling harmful impurities such as heavy metals, Guoli Chemical's production standards strictly require: total heavy metals ≤20 ppm, arsenic content ≤2 ppm. These indicators are at low levels, meeting the limits for harmful substances in chemicals under major domestic and international environmental regulations. The product's water content is controlled at ≤1.0% and free alcohol at ≤3%, ensuring high purity and reducing potential environmental impacts of by-products.
However, it should be noted that although the product has some biodegradability, its degradation rate and extent are still affected by environmental conditions. Guoli Chemical's safety instructions clearly state: Large spills should be prevented from entering sewers, water sources, or soil, and waste disposal must comply with local environmental regulations. Therefore, in practical applications, enterprises should confirm compliance in combination with specific regulations in their regions (such as EU REACH, China's "Measures for the Environmental Management of New Chemical Substances", etc.).
| Environmentally Relevant Indicator | Data | Description |
|---|---|---|
| GHS Hazard Classification | Non-dangerous chemical | Not classified as flammable, explosive, or strongly corrosive |
| Acute Toxicity (Oral LD50) | > 5000 mg/kg (rat) | Low toxicity / practically non-toxic |
| Biodegradability | Has certain biodegradability | Can gradually decompose naturally, not a persistent pollutant |
| Total Heavy Metals | ≤20 ppm | Meets limits of major environmental regulations |
| Arsenic Content (As) | ≤2 ppm | Strictly controlled, far below hazard threshold |
| Water Content | ≤1.0% | Product purity ≥99%, minimal by-products |
| Free Alcohol Content | ≤3% | Low content of unreacted substances |
| Flash Point (Closed Cup) | > 200°C | Non-flammable, high safety in transport and storage |
With its low toxicity, low irritation, and biodegradability, PEG600DO offers significant advantages in the following fields with high environmental requirements: as a green emulsifier in cosmetics and personal care products, meeting consumer demand for natural and mild formulations; as a replacement for traditional alkylphenol ethoxylate emulsifiers in pesticide formulations, avoiding environmental hormone controversies associated with APEO substances; as a low-foam emulsifying component in industrial cleaning agents, contributing to the overall environmental upgrade of the formulation.
According to Guoli Chemical's existing product database, the product batches are usually accompanied by the following test item data: appearance, active content (≥99%), acid value (≤2 mgKOH/g), saponification value (90~110 mgKOH/g), iodine value (40~60 gI₂/100g), hydroxyl value (≤10 mgKOH/g), moisture (≤1.0%), pH value (1% aqueous solution 5.0~7.0), heavy metals and arsenic content, etc. However, the database does not currently contain publicly available third-party environmental test report templates (such as REACH compliance declarations, RoHS tests, VOC tests, biodegradability test reports, MSDS/SDS documents, etc.).
In actual orders, Guoli Chemical can provide the product's Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) according to customer needs. For compliance test reports targeting specific regulations (such as EU REACH registration number, China Environmental Labeling Certification, OECD biodegradability test report, etc.), it is recommended to directly contact Guoli Chemical's sales or technical department to specify the intended use and report requirements, so as to obtain the latest and most complete technical compliance document support.
