Question

Does XPO-5 tristyrylphenol polyoxyethylene ether ammonium sulfate meet environmental requirements? Can test reports be provided?

XPO-5 meets environmental requirements, with good biodegradability and low ecotoxicity. For test reports, please contact Guoli Chemical sales or technical department.

Detailed Description

XPO-5 tristyrylphenol polyoxyethylene ether ammonium sulfate performs well in environmental compliance. According to ecotoxicological data in the product database, this product is readily biodegradable. Tested according to OECD 301B standard, the 28-day biodegradation rate exceeds 70%, meeting the criteria for a "readily biodegradable" substance, meaning it will not persist or accumulate in the natural environment for a long time.

In terms of aquatic ecotoxicity, XPO-5 exhibits low toxicity to aquatic organisms: the 96-hour median lethal concentration (LC₅₀) for zebrafish is greater than 100 mg/L, and the 48-hour median effect concentration (EC₅₀) for Daphnia magna is also greater than 100 mg/L. These values are far above conventional environmental risk thresholds, indicating a low risk to aquatic ecosystems under normal use and discharge conditions.

Regarding test reports, the product database does not currently store specific third-party test report documents. For actual COA (Certificate of Analysis), SGS test reports, RoHS/REACH compliance statements, etc., please directly contact Guoli Chemical's sales manager or technical customer service. They can provide batch-specific quality test reports and environmental compliance documentation according to your specific needs.

Application Suggestions

Due to XPO-5's excellent biodegradability and low ecotoxicity, it is well-suited for formulations with high environmental requirements:

  • Green pesticide formulations: Complies with modern pesticide trends for environmentally friendly adjuvants, suitable for water-based pesticide formulations (e.g., microemulsions, emulsions).
  • Environmentally friendly emulsion polymerization: In emulsion polymerization for coatings, adhesives, etc., it helps end products achieve environmental certifications.
  • Eco-textile auxiliaries: Suitable for textile processing under OEKO-TEX® standards or bluesign® certification.

Precautions

  • Although the product is readily biodegradable, untreated wastewater should still be avoided from direct discharge into natural water bodies. It is recommended to treat it through standard wastewater treatment systems.
  • When burned or thermally decomposed, the product may produce harmful gases such as CO, CO₂, SOₓ, and ammonia. Keep away from heat sources and open flames during storage.
  • For formal RoHS, REACH compliance statements, or third-party test reports, please apply through the official channels of Guoli Chemical. Reports may vary for different production batches.
