When using the environmentally friendly penetrant JFC, special attention must be paid to preventing skin/eye irritation and water environment pollution. Operators must wear full personal protective equipment during operation.

Detailed Explanation

The environmentally friendly penetrant JFC is a nonionic surfactant (fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether). Although it is a non-flammable liquid (flash point >150°C), according to the GHS classification criteria, it is classified as Skin corrosion/irritation category 2 and Serious eye damage/eye irritation category 2, and is also classified as Hazardous to the aquatic environment — chronic category 3. This means the product has clear irritant effects on human skin and eyes and poses a long-term persistent hazard to aquatic ecosystems, which cannot be ignored.

During daily use, operators must strictly wear qualified chemical safety protective gloves, protective clothing, protective goggles, and face shields to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. The work area should be well-ventilated, and eating, drinking, or smoking is prohibited during operation. After operation, hands, face, and other potentially exposed areas should be thoroughly washed immediately, and contaminated clothing should be changed promptly. Emergency eyewash stations and shower equipment should be available in the workplace to handle unexpected situations.

It is particularly important to emphasize that this product must not be discharged directly into sewers, surface water, or soil to prevent long-term harm to aquatic organisms. Empty containers and waste must be disposed of in accordance with local, regional, national, and international regulations (precautionary code P501) and must not be discarded carelessly.

Application Recommendations

In practical application scenarios such as textile printing and dyeing, leather processing, and industrial cleaning, it is recommended to first confirm the ventilation conditions in the working solution preparation area before operation, and try to use closed or semi-closed automatic feeding systems to reduce exposure risk. When manual feeding is unavoidable, protective gloves, goggles, and protective clothing must be worn. For downstream formulations such as pesticide emulsification and water-based coatings, splash protection should also be ensured during mixing to prevent concentrate from splashing into eyes or contacting skin.

Precautions

  • Skin Contact Emergency: Immediately remove contaminated clothing and thoroughly rinse skin with plenty of water and soap. If irritation persists, seek medical attention immediately (P302+P352, P332+P313).
  • Eye Contact Emergency: Rinse cautiously with plenty of water or saline solution for at least 15 minutes, lifting eyelids during rinsing. If wearing contact lenses, remove after 5 minutes and continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists, seek medical attention immediately (P305+P351+P338, P337+P313).
  • Inhalation Emergency: Move to fresh air immediately, keep breathing unobstructed, seek medical attention if discomfort persists.
  • Ingestion Emergency: Do NOT induce vomiting, rinse mouth with water and seek medical attention immediately. If conscious, drink water in small amounts to dilute, but do not force fluids.
  • Spill Handling: Small spills: absorb with sand or inert absorbent material and collect in a closed container; large spills: contain with dikes to prevent entry into drains and water bodies.
  • Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, keep container tightly closed, away from strong oxidizers, strong acids and bases, and away from food and beverages.
  • Environmental Protection: Do not discharge product directly into sewers, surface water, or soil. Dispose of waste in accordance with hazardous waste regulations.
