Polyether L-44 meets general industrial chemical environmental requirements and is a GHS non-hazardous substance

Detailed description

From the safety data sheet of Polyether L-44, it can be seen that this product has a good foundation in terms of environmental compliance. According to the GHS classification standard, this product is not classified as a hazardous chemical and has low toxicity and biodegradability. Acute oral toxicity (rat) LD₅₀ > 5,000 mg/kg, which is practically non-toxic; Primary skin irritation index < 0.5, non-irritating; No mutagenicity and no sensitization. These toxicological data indicate that under normal use conditions, the direct hazard risk of this product to humans and the environment is low.

The product database explicitly requires that "waste disposal should comply with local environmental regulations, and arbitrary discharge is prohibited". This means that during use and disposal, enterprises need to operate according to specific regulations of local environmental authorities. Polyether surfactants generally have good biodegradability, but specific degradation half-life and environmental fate data need to be evaluated based on actual discharge conditions and local water quality standards.

Technical parameters

The heavy metal content control indicators for this product are: Heavy metals ≤ 10 mg/kg, Arsenic ≤ 2 mg/kg, which meet the limits for harmful elements in general industrial chemicals, providing product quality support for environmental compliance.

Application suggestions

For application scenarios requiring environmental compliance certification (such as export products, environmental certification applications, or customer audits), you can commission a third-party testing agency to conduct the following tests based on the requirements of the end market:

  • Biodegradability test (e.g., OECD 301 series)
  • Heavy metal and harmful element content analysis
  • Volatile organic compound (VOC) content test
  • Ecotoxicity assessment (fish, algae, daphnia toxicity tests)

Notes

Regarding the test report, the current product database of Guoli Chemical does not include specific test report documents for this product. If you need batch test reports or declarations of conformity, it is recommended that you directly contact the sales or technical department of Guoli Chemical. They will provide the corresponding batch's factory test data or assist in arranging third-party testing based on your specific needs. Commonly available test indicators include: appearance, pH value (1% aqueous solution), cloud point, hydroxyl value, moisture, heavy metal content, and other routine items.
