High-temperature penetrant JFC-M (isomeric tridecanol polyoxyethylene ether) is a nonionic surfactant with stable chemical properties, but storage conditions are crucial for maintaining its quality. This product should be stored in a dedicated warehouse that is cool, dry, and well-ventilated. Containers must be kept tightly sealed, away from fire sources, heat sources, and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers. Special attention should be paid to avoiding prolonged storage in extremely low-temperature environments, as the product may experience increased viscosity or layering, affecting performance; likewise, exposure to direct sunlight or proximity to high-temperature heat sources like radiators is strictly prohibited.
Regarding shelf life, Guoli Chemical's product database does not specify a specific shelf life for this product. However, based on general industry standards for nonionic surfactants and the chemical stability characteristics of this product, under recommended storage conditions, the shelf life for unopened, original packaging is generally recommended to be 12 months. In practice, it is advised to strictly follow the "first in, first out" inventory management principle, prioritizing the use of earlier batches to avoid long-term accumulation of stock.

To ensure optimal performance of the product during use, it is recommended to conduct regular inspections of long-term stored product. Before use, if the product's appearance changes from a light yellow to yellow transparent liquid to cloudy, layered, or significantly darker color, conduct a small-scale test to confirm performance before deciding to use. When dispensing from bulk packaging, use clean and dry containers to avoid introducing moisture and impurities. For processes with strict requirements on permeability, such as high-temperature and high-pressure dyeing in textile printing and dyeing, it is recommended to prioritize the use of fresh batches to ensure consistent and reliable penetration rate and leveling effect.
