NOVEL 810-4.5 Ethoxylate

1 of 70 products in this brand
NOVEL 810-4.5 Ethoxylate is a biodegradable nonionic derived from linear primary ALFOL 810 Alcohol. This 4.5-mole ethoxylate is made using Sasol Chemicals patented NOVEL catalyst technology which yields narrow range products with lower free alcohol, PEG levels and melting ranges when compared to the traditional base-catalyzed methods. NOVEL 810-4.5 Ethoxylate is liquid at room temperature, essentially 100% active. For documents/ applications specific to a region, please contact Sasol using the 'Request Document' button.

Storage and handling materials

Suitable: Carbon steel coated with baked phenolic. Any moisture may cause rusting of carbon steel. If product is moisture free, uncoated carbon steel tanks

Further information on storage conditions

When stored in the liquid form, ethoxylates should be padded with a dry inert gas, such as nitrogen, to prevent oxygen or air from entering the tank. Prolonged storage in the presence of air or oxygen may cause product degradation. Oxidation is not expected when stored under a nitrogen atmosphere. Inert gas blanket and breathing system needed to maintain color stability. Use dry inert gas having at least -40°C (-40°F) dew point
