XPO-4 (Glycerol polyoxyethylene ether oleate) is a nonionic surfactant, appearing as a light yellow to yellow transparent viscous liquid at room temperature, with a flash point above 150°C. It is a non-flammable liquid with relatively good storage safety. However, as a chemical auxiliary, it still requires standard storage practices to ensure product quality stability and usage safety.
The storage environment should be cool, dry, and well-ventilated, avoiding prolonged exposure to high temperature or humidity. Although the product has a high flash point and is not flammable, high temperatures may accelerate oxidation or cause viscosity changes, affecting performance. Meanwhile, the container must be kept sealed to prevent moisture or impurities from entering.
Special attention should be paid to keeping XPO-4 separate from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers, strong acids, and strong bases to avoid chemical reactions that could degrade the product. In addition, because the product is harmful to aquatic life (Aquatic Acute Category 3), the storage area should be equipped with a dike or leak containment system to prevent accidental spills from entering drainage systems or water bodies.
| Storage Parameter | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Storage Temperature | 5°C to 40°C (recommended range) |
| Container Status | Keep sealed |
| Environmental Requirements | Cool, dry, well-ventilated |
| Incompatible Substances | Strong oxidizers, strong acids, strong bases |
| Flash Point | >150°C (non-flammable liquid) |
| Special Protection | Corrosion-resistant, leak-proof containers; install dike |
In daily use, it is recommended to store XPO-4 in its original sealed container, tightly closing the lid after each use. If the product becomes more viscous or turbid due to low temperature, allow it to naturally return to room temperature before use; do not directly heat it. For long-term storage, follow the "first in, first out" principle and regularly inspect container seals and product appearance.
