Super Penetrant JFC-E should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse, with the container kept tightly closed. The recommended storage temperature is 5～35°C. Regarding shelf life, the official shelf life data for this product has not been recorded in the Guoli Chemical product database. However, according to industry practice in the chemical sector, the shelf life of unopened products under appropriate storage conditions is typically 12 to 24 months.
Detailed Explanation
Super Penetrant JFC-E (Dioctyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate, CAS No.: 1639-66-3) is chemically stable, resistant to acids, alkalis, and hard water, and does not easily deteriorate under normal storage conditions. However, it has a hygroscopic nature, so it is crucial to keep the container tightly closed during storage to prevent moisture ingress, which could lead to a decrease in active content or changes in appearance.
This product is non-hazardous, with a flash point ≥160°C (open cup method), and poses no risk of fire or explosion under normal storage conditions. However, it should be kept away from heat sources, sparks, and open flames, and stored separately from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers, strong acids, and strong bases, avoiding direct sunlight. Its pour point is below -10°C. Under low-temperature conditions, it may exhibit increased viscosity or solidification, which is a normal physical change. After warming to room temperature and stirring evenly, it can be restored for use without affecting product performance.
According to the Guoli Chemical database, this product is classified as a chemical auxiliary. It is recommended to follow the "First In, First Out" principle for inventory management. It is advised to use the product within 6 months of receipt to ensure optimal penetration performance (penetration force ≤5 seconds, standard canvas sedimentation method). If the product is opened but not fully used, reseal it and use it as soon as possible to avoid moisture absorption and failure due to prolonged exposure to air.

Application Recommendations
- For Textile Dyeing and Printing Users: As this product is used in large quantities as a pretreatment penetrant, it is recommended to procure in batches quarterly to avoid long-term storage. If layering or turbidity is observed before use, stir evenly and sample test to ensure the penetration force is still ≤5 seconds.
- For Pesticide Formulation Users: Used as a wetting and penetrating adjuvant, typically at an addition rate of 1% to 5% of the total formulation. Special attention should be paid to moisture prevention during storage, as moisture absorption may reduce the active content and affect the spreading and penetrating ability of the spray solution.
- For Industrial Cleaning Users: Used in compounding cleaning agents. It is recommended to use opened products within 3 months to maintain optimal low surface tension characteristics (surface tension of 1% aqueous solution: 28~32 mN/m).
Precautions
- This product is mildly irritating to the eyes (GHS eye irritation category 2B). It is recommended to wear chemical safety goggles and protective gloves during handling.
- The storage area should be equipped with emergency flushing equipment and spill containment materials (e.g., sand, vermiculite) for emergency response in case of leakage.
- Avoid letting spills enter sewers, water sources, or soil. For large spills, dike and contain, then transfer using an explosion-proof pump to a dedicated collection container.
- If the product solidifies due to low temperature, do not use an open flame to thaw. Allow it to warm naturally or use a warm water bath to bring it to room temperature.
- For specific shelf life, refer to the label on the product packaging or call the Guoli Chemical technical support hotline to confirm batch information.
