Storage Conditions:

1. Temperature control: It should be stored in a cool and ventilated warehouse, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. To avoid high temperatures, storing at a temperature not exceeding 30 ° C (86 ° F) is recommended. High temperatures may cause the decomposition of EHPS or accelerate its chemical reactions, thereby affecting its effectiveness in use.

2. Humidity control: Keep the relative humidity of the storage environment low to prevent EHPS from absorbing moisture and undergoing hydrolysis reactions. Use moisture-proof packaging materials to reduce moisture absorption.

3. Avoid contamination: Storage containers should be well sealed to prevent the entry of dust, impurities, and other pollutants. Avoid mixing with toxic and harmful chemicals to prevent cross-contamination.

4. Fire safety: Although EHPS is not a flammable substance, it is necessary to avoid ignition sources and static sparks to prevent accidents. The storage area should have appropriate fire-fighting equipment and undergo regular fire inspections.

5. Storage period: EHPS has a period beyond which its performance may change. Follow the recommended storage period in the product manual and regularly check if the stored EHPS has deteriorated.

6. Handling and operation: When handling and operating EHPS, appropriate protective equipment should be worn, such as protective goggles, gloves, etc. Avoid severe vibration and impact to prevent packaging damage and leakage.

7. Compliance and labeling: Ensure that the storage of EHPS complies with local regulations and standards. Mark the name of EHPS, storage precautions, emergency contact information, and other information on the storage container.

8. Inventory management: Implement strict inventory management to ensure the first in, first out (FIFO) principle and avoid prolonged backlog leading to expiration. Regularly conduct quality inspections on EHPS inventory to ensure its stability and applicability.

FAQ

Q1

What are the advantages of EHPS as a surfactant compared to other similar products in terms of performance?

Re:EHPS, as a surfactant, has significant performance advantages compared to similar products. The hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts in its molecular structure balance surface activity and emulsifying ability, making it excellent in cleaning, wetting, emulsifying, and other aspects. In addition, EHPS also exhibits good stability and compatibility, which can maintain stability in various chemical environments and effectively bind with different components. This has led to the widespread application of EHPS in various fields, such as coatings, plastics, and cosmetics.

Q2

What is the biodegradability of EHPS?

Re:The biodegradability of EHPS is an important environmental indicator. Research has shown that EHPS can be decomposed by natural microorganisms and converted into harmless substances. This biodegradability means that EHPS will not remain in the environment long after use, and the impact on the ecosystem is relatively small. However, the specific degradation rate and conditions may be influenced by various factors, such as temperature, pH value, microbial species, etc. Therefore, in practical applications, it is still necessary to pay attention to the environmental impact of EHPS and take appropriate measures to reduce its emissions.

Q3

Will EHPS produce harmful by-products or gases during use?

Re:EHPS usually does not produce harmful by-products or gases during use. It is a stable compound and safe to use under appropriate conditions. However, under extreme conditions such as high temperatures or strong acids or alkalis, EHPS may undergo decomposition or reaction, producing some unstable compounds or gases. Therefore, when using EHPS, following the recommended usage conditions is necessary to avoid extreme environments and ensure its safety and stability.

Q4

How stable is EHPS, especially under different temperature and pH conditions?

Re:The stability of EHPS is a key performance indicator. EHPS exhibits good stability under various temperature and pH conditions. Under normal temperature and pressure, EHPS can maintain its chemical structure and performance stability, unaffected by temperature and pH changes. However, the stability of EHPS may be challenged under high temperatures or extreme pH conditions. Therefore, when using EHPS, it is necessary to understand its applicable temperature and pH range and use it within it to ensure its stability and effectiveness.

Q5

Is EHPS easy to operate and control during the preparation process?

Re:EHPS typically exhibits good operability and controllability during the preparation process. Its preparation process is relatively simple and can be synthesized through conventional chemical reactions. During the preparation process, the quality and performance of EHPS can be controlled by adjusting reaction conditions, raw material ratios, and other methods. In addition, the stability of EHPS also makes the preparation process relatively easy to control, reducing operational difficulty and risk. Therefore, the preparation process for EHPS is usually feasible and reliable.
