The environmentally friendly penetrant JFC uses fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (FAEO) as the active ingredient, differentiating it from traditional penetrants that may contain alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (APEO, such as nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether NPEO). APEO has been strictly restricted by the EU REACH regulations and multiple Chinese industry standards due to its slow degradation in the environment and the endocrine-disrupting effects of its degradation products. This product uses C8-C10 fatty alcohols as starting materials, with significantly better biodegradability than APEO products, which is the core basis for its "environmentally friendly" positioning.
Additionally, this product is a non-flammable liquid (flash point > 150°C) and non-explosive, posing no risk of flammability or explosiveness during production, transportation, and storage, meeting the basic safety requirements for environmentally friendly products.
According to GHS classification, this product is classified as Hazardous to the aquatic environment — Long-term chronic Category 3 (H412: Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects). This means that if the product is discharged directly into natural water bodies in large quantities without treatment, it may have adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, during use, the disposal requirements in the safety instructions (P501) must be followed, strictly prohibiting the direct discharge of waste liquid into sewers, surface water, or soil. It should be properly disposed of as chemical waste in accordance with local and national regulations.
After searching the existing product database, there are currently no complete test reports or certification certificates for the environmentally friendly penetrant JFC available for direct download. Typically, Guoli Chemical provides Certificate of Analysis (COA) for each batch of products, covering key indicators such as appearance, pH value, active content, penetrability, and cloud point. For the following specific reports, it is recommended to contact Guoli Chemical's sales or technical support department directly:

The environmentally friendly penetrant JFC is suitable for downstream industries with high requirements for environmental compliance, especially for export textiles (meeting OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, ZDHC, etc.), water-based coatings, pesticide formulations, and other fields. It ensures excellent penetrating, wetting, and emulsifying performance while avoiding APEO risks from the raw material source, making it an ideal replacement for traditional penetrants.
It is recommended that in the waste liquid treatment process, the working fluid containing this product be incorporated into the industrial wastewater treatment system, treated biochemically, and discharged up to standard, to avoid long-term chronic effects on receiving water bodies.
