Alkali-resistant penetrant AEP should be stored sealed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, with temperature maintained at 5℃~40℃, away from heat sources and open flames, and stored separately from acids, oxidizers, etc.

Detailed Description

Alkali-resistant penetrant AEP (fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether phosphate, CAS No.: 68439-39-4) is an anionic surfactant. Although it is not classified as a flammable or explosive hazardous material, strict storage conditions are still required to ensure product quality stability and safe use. Proper storage can effectively prevent product deterioration, packaging corrosion, leakage, and other issues, thereby extending the product's service life.

During storage, special attention should be paid to temperature control to prevent both product deterioration due to high temperature and performance impact due to low-temperature freezing. Meanwhile, since this product is an alkaline chemical, certain requirements are imposed on the material of packaging containers. Alkali-resistant materials (such as polyethylene plastic drums or stainless steel containers) should be selected, and easily corrodible ordinary metal containers should be avoided to prevent leakage accidents.

In addition, storage management should follow the 'first-in, first-out' principle, regularly check the integrity of packaging, and ensure containers are sealed and undamaged. If any abnormalities such as packaging leakage or swelling are found, they should be promptly handled and transferred to safe containers.

Precautions

  • Strictly avoid mixing storage with acidic substances; contact between alkali and acid may cause violent reactions and danger.
  • Avoid coexistence with strong oxidizers to prevent oxidative degradation and impact on product performance.
  • Keep away from food and feed storage areas to prevent accidental ingestion or cross-contamination.
  • Although the product is not flammable or explosive, maintain general operation safety to prevent static electricity accumulation.
  • In case of leakage, immediately adsorb with inert absorbent materials (such as dry sand, vermiculite), collect into sealed containers and dispose of according to regulations. Do not discharge directly into water bodies.
