Isomeric Alcohol Ether Phosphate E-1310P should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, with a recommended temperature of 5°C to 40°C, sealed and protected from light; under specified storage conditions, the shelf life is typically 12 months.

Detailed Explanation

Isomeric Alcohol Ether Phosphate E-1310P (Isomeric Tridecanol Polyoxyethylene Ether Phosphate) is an anionic surfactant with relatively stable chemical properties, not prone to deterioration under normal storage conditions. To ensure the product quality is always at its best, storage management must strictly follow the recommended conditions. This product remains active over a wide pH range and has good tolerance to acids, alkalis, and hard water, but storage should still avoid incompatible substances.

Regarding the shelf life, according to the product standard of Guoli Chemical, under the premise of following the recommended storage conditions, the suggested shelf life for E-1310P is 12 months from the date of manufacture. For products beyond the shelf life, it is recommended to conduct a small-scale test before use to confirm that various performance indicators (such as wetting power, emulsifying power, pH value, etc.) still meet the application requirements before putting them into use. If the product shows changes such as delamination, increased turbidity, significant color deepening, or abnormal odor, it may indicate deterioration and should not be used further.

Detailed Storage Conditions

Storage FactorSpecific Requirement
Temperature RangeRecommended 5°C to 40°C, avoid extreme high or low temperatures (low temperatures may cause increased viscosity or even solidification; high temperatures may accelerate ester bond hydrolysis)
Environmental RequirementsCool, dry, well-ventilated, avoid direct sunlight and heat sources
Container SealingKeep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture evaporation and impurity ingress
Suitable Container MaterialsStainless steel, Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP)
Prohibited Container MaterialsCarbon steel, aluminum, copper (long-term contact may cause container corrosion or product discoloration)
Substances to AvoidStrong oxidizers, strong acids, strong alkalis, and other incompatible substances
Warehouse ManagementFollow the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) principle; warehouse floor should be equipped with bunds or spill containment facilities

Application Recommendations

In actual use, it is recommended to seal the container immediately after each withdrawal to reduce the product's contact time with air, preventing moisture absorption and oxidation. For users purchasing in large quantities, the product can be divided into small packages to reduce the risk of contamination from frequent opening of large drums. If viscosity increases or slight turbidity occurs in low-temperature environments in winter, it is a normal physical phenomenon. After returning the product to room temperature (15-30°C) and moderate stirring, it can return to a normal transparent state without affecting the use effect.

Precautions

  • The shelf life is based on the production date, please retain product labels and batch information for traceability.
  • Products beyond the shelf life, after passing re-inspection, can be downgraded or used with caution; it is not recommended to use them directly in high-end formulations with strict quality requirements.
  • If delamination or precipitation occurs after low-temperature storage, stir thoroughly to ensure a uniform state before use.
  • Spill treatment: For small spills, cover and collect with inert absorbent materials (such as sand, vermiculite); for large spills, build a dike to control spread; wash water must be treated according to regulations and should not be directly discharged into sewers.
  • This product is not classified as dangerous goods, but it is still recommended to wear chemical safety goggles and chemical-resistant gloves (such as nitrile rubber) during handling.
